Reception
The Globe and Mail noted that "there are the qualities of a folk music in the fundamental nature of Haden's work and the richness of Garbarek's saxes."[3]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "The trio performs group originals and an obscurity during the picturesque and continually interesting release; this combination works well."[4]
