Scott Yanow of Allmusic said "When Konitz solos on these seven veteran standards, Bley plays fairly straightforwardly, but when it is time for the piano solos, Bley stretches himself and shows why he was considered one of the earliest free stylists. ... Konitz was always a very open improviser, so this combination works quite well". [5] On All About Jazz, Jim Santella noted "Konitz and Bley are unique artists with a sound few can copy, who stroll easily between avant-garde and straight-ahead standards. Recommended". [7]
