Reception
editThe Penguin Guide to Jazz selected this album as part of its suggested Core Collection.[2]
The AllMusic review by Stephen Cook awarded the album 4½ stars, calling it "a stellar set of jazz covers and Motian originals" and stating: "As the premium sound quality of the recording makes clear, this trio had an almost telepathic rapport on stage, inspiring each other in both ensemble playing and solo flights. This kind of hand-in-glove chemistry is certainly due in part to the group's many stints on the road, but also comes from the individual player's complimentary [sic] styles".[3]
