Solo was released by Telarc in 2005.[2] The AllMusic reviewer wrote: "Although Solo does not quite generate the same amount of excitement as Camilo's often-classic trio dates, he plays beautifully throughout."[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings also compared it with Camilo's trio recordings: "the percussive energy he conjures up with a rhythm section is largely missing and some of these sound suspiciously like rehearsal musings."[1]
