The AllMusic review concluded: "Sometimes the inspiration level is uneven, but the payoff is high when all cylinders are pumping." [3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote of McNeely that "for all the clarity of his touch, he takes in more of the keyboard in each improvisation than many do over a whole recital". [2] Pianist Liam Noble described the performance of " 'Round Midnight" as "updating the chord sequence to a kind of post- Bill Evans modality that only unsettle at the very edges of the image". [4]
