In her review for AllMusic, Joslyn Layne claims "There is a natural intuition and understanding between Morris, percussionist Hamid Drake, bassist Kent Kessler, and tenor saxophonist Ken Vandermark that belies the fact that the Chicago group and Morris played together only twice before stepping into the studio in spring 1998."
The JazzTimes review by Peter Margasak states "I don't think Morris and DKV make the best match, but the interest level never falters. At certain times they sound natural, yet even when they don't, they make the struggle utterly compelling."
