The Penguin Guide to Jazz noted "With a restless, unrooted delivery, Brackeen has always gravitated towards strong, very melodic bass players. The two early discs with Houston expose some of his crudities ... but conform expressive strength and presence."[3] AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Pianist Joanne Brackeen, already a powerful force by 1976, had her roots in McCoy Tyner but early on developed her own personal voice. This set of post-bop duets with bassist Clint Houston features obscurities by Tyner and Chick Corea, a pair of standards and two of Brackeen's quirky originals. The improvisations are quite advanced, yet often surprisingly melodic and rhythmic. An excellent early effort".[2]
