Billboard said "This album is remarkable not only for the superb modern musicianship...but for their successful use of varied old and new jazz sources."[2]
John Fordham of The Guardian said "if these two saxophonists play with an even, almost chilly undemonstrativeness, their melodic ingenuity is dazzling".[3] Peter Marsh, writing for BBC Music, said "Graceful, intelligent improvising that swings - what more could you want? Highly recommended."[4] Scott Yanow, writing for AllMusic, said they "always made for a perfect team."[5]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz selected this album as part of its suggested Core Collection.[6][8]
