Reception
Allmusic awarded the album with 4 stars and its review by Michael G. Nastos states: "The playing here by Towner and a group of other ECM artists is what made the label so noteworthy: It is full of elegance and aplomb and the musicians are as aware of space as they are of what fills it".[1]
