Amanecer was released by Marsalis Music in 2007.[4] The AllMusic reviewer wrote that "Every selection on this well-conceived project has its purpose and is memorable in its own way."[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz suggested that the presence of Lubambo and Acuña merely diluted the effect of what is otherwise a solo piano album.[1] The JazzTimes wrote that it "might be the album that gets his gifts as both a composer and a solo pianist embraced on a greater scale."[5]
