The AllMusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 4 stars stating "Bollani can improvise on Prokofiev, trip along through a Dixieland standard... turn out splendidly intricate paraphrases... He also likes to make improbable associations... For the most part, all of this is filtered through a distinct, poetic, never flashy for its own sake, improvising personality, a lovely touch, and a concise sense of structure."[2]
