The album has received mixed reviews with Musikexpress claimed the album 'liberates oft-heard standards from the corset of arbitrariness'[2] with Intro adding 'Only an muted jazz trumpet and a distant double bass enrich the charged silence which often ends in unexpected slowness'.[3] Williams asserted on The Afterword podcast that 'I don't mind the different reactions that the album has got because it makes me feel like I'm doing something right.' [4]
