The Allmusic review stated "Although the repertoire certainly pays tribute to Tristano's legacy the altoist had grown quite a bit as an improviser during the previous 30 years and Solal is a major stylist in his own right. Their explorative and spontaneous music covers a wide area of styles from swing and cool-toned bop to freer explorations and lives up to one's expectations".[4]
