The Baltimore Sun wrote that the album "touches on everything from slippery samba rhythms to flashy Scruggs-style picking." [8] The Indianapolis Star concluded that "there's nothing bad on this disc, much that's good, but too much that's merely pleasant, veering close to 'easy listening'." [7] Stereo Review noted that "Brown never wanders as far into space-grass territory as Bela Fleck, but her artistic vision, while less flashy, is no less profound." [9]
In his AllMusic review, music critic Michael McCall called the album "jazzier, yet also more relaxed, than her debut." [2]
