The Allmusic review by Ron Wynn awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "Hill enters the '80s on a stirring trio note."[2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings awarded the album 3 stars and noted, "This is as dour and dark as anything Hill has committed to record. Silva and Waits are ideal partners in music that isn't so much minor-key as surpassingly ambiguous in its harmonic language."[3]
