The album was recorded at a venue where Jarrett performed very early in his career,[4] and was the first to feature Motian since the 1976 session that yielded Byablue and Bop-Be, the final recordings of Jarrett's American Quartet, collected on the 1992 compilation Silence.[5][6][7]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz | [7] |
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars and states: "The inventive interpretations give listeners plenty of surprises and variety, making this a very enjoyable outing".[4]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote: "Motian brings a lighter and more flowing pulse to the music than DeJohnette... 'Bye Bye Blackbird'... glides along without wires or other obvious support for more than ten minutes, a beautiful airborne performance... As so often, Peacock is more forceful and less complex out of the studio... It seems unlikely that Jarrett will ever need to go back to bar-room gigs, but here he's demonstrated his ability to work a small audience with powerful, unpretentious jazz."[7]
