Allmusic reviewer Steve Loewy states "The mood is generally more pensive than to be expected, although fires are lit in a few of the pieces. McPhee shows himself to be a thoughtful, sensitive player, where every note counts and space is just as important... The results are somewhat mixed, though McPhee and Duval fans should find moments of inspiration".[2]
