Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "At first glance, Desmond may seem only peripherally involved with the music-making, keeping emotion at a cool, intellectual arms' length, yet his exceptionally pure tone and ruminative moods wear very well over the long haul. ...A lovely recording, though not the best album in the Desmond/Hall collaboration".
