Reception

AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars, with the review by Ken Dryden stating, "Jim Hall's successful blend of contemporary and mainstream jazz should appeal to both camps on this well-crafted CD. Hall displays the subtle quiet lyricism that makes his guitar sound instantly identifiable... One of Jim Hall's best CDs".
