Critical reception
Scott Yanow of Allmusic said "The quartet performs unpredictable and sometimes eccentric versions of five standards and a previously unissued rendition of Konitz's "Antibes." Solal, whose chord voicings and use of space are quite original, acts as an equal partner with Konitz and the music is often magical and never overly safe. Worth investigating".
