Reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 out of five stars, citing the exciting tempo and the "mellow yet lively interplay" between musicians as strengths while criticizing the quality of the audio.[1] Writing for JazzTimes, Colin Fleming praised Montgomery's virtuosity and Higgins' piano work.[3] In PopMatters, John Paul awarded the recording 7/10, agreeing that the stars are Higgins and Montgomery, summing up, "Hearing these two giants together, while not quite at the level of Coltrane and Monk, is nonetheless a thrillingly enjoyable spectacle."[4]
