AllMusic awarded the album 4.5 stars, with reviewer Bob Rusch stating: "This set was particularly inventive; it was Coltrane's music, but it drinks of its own spirit. You won't listen for the familiar Trane solos, but you will listen!"[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote in 1996 that it was "one of the finest piano-trio albums of the last 20 years".[4]
