Reception

The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4 stars and stated "It's challenging music that remains accessible, since it reconfigures familiar items in new, intriguing ways. The sheer skill in Rivers' arrangements once again confirms his large, unfortunately underappreciated, talent".[2]
