AllMusic awarded the album with 4 out of 5 stars.[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz review gave 2.5 stars out of 4 and said, "Coryell had already tackled Ravel (and Robert de Visee) on The Restful Mind and it was inevitable that he would add "Boléro" to "Pavane for a Dead Princess". Ravel was a perfectly logical focus for Coryell and he also tackles the prelude from "Le Tombeau De Couperin", lending it an elaborate contrapuntal feel that almost buries the intriguing modal progression that links it to the gypsy and flamenco traditions that intrigue both men."[2]
Coryell performed the "Improvisation on Boléro" at the Guitar Legends Festival in Seville, October 1991.
