AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars.[3] The LA Times' Bill Kohlhaase noted "the highlight here is Roberts' five-part suite "Saturday/Sunday" with its acoustic sensibilities and smart interplay between Roberts, pianist Django Bates and percussionist Arto Tuncboyaciyan. Moving easily between jazz rhythms, tribal beats and classically influenced passages, the piece marks Roberts as a composer willing to overlook the usual boundaries between jazz and progressive music".[4]
