The Penguin Guide to Jazz identified the album as part of their suggested "Core Collection" of essential jazz albums and awarded the compilation a "Crown" signifying a recording that the authors "feel a special admiration or affection for".[2][5] The AllMusic review by Ken Dryden stated "This very entertaining date will stand up very well to repeated listening".[3]
On All About Jazz, C. Michael Bailey called it:
one of the finest discs to have crossed beneath my laser in a long time. Most certainly, this disc will be in my top ten at the end of 2001, when I am called upon to vote for the best releases of the last year.
— Bailey, C. M. (September 1, 2001). "All About Jazz Review".
In JazzTimes, Doug Ramsey observed:
cornetist Warren Vache and pianist Bill Charlap play with the power of virtuosity in reserve while holding back nothing of adventurousness. They concentrate on quietness, subtlety and lyricism, but their album is loaded with spontaneity and good feeling. ...The CD is impossible to categorize, except in one of the only two categories that matter: good.
— Ramsey, D. (November 2001). "JazzTimes Review".
