Reception
editThe Allmusic review by Ken Dryden awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "This is easily some of Paul Motian's most challenging music as a leader, while the Village Vanguard audience was obviously transfixed with the performances, as they remain very quiet to soak in every nuance of them".[2]
