Reception

The Allmusic review by Lee Bloom awarded the album 2½ stars stating "The material on this date falls comfortably within the realm of what the ECM label is famous for; meticulously recorded, lyrical chamber music".[3] Down Beat magazine gave the album 4½ stars, and heaped praise on Erskine's subtle playing, calling it "more zen than macho" and stating that "rather than keeping strict time, Peter plays a more melodic function here, commenting on the music while Danielsson holds the center."[4]
