Reception

The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 2½ stars stating "Though While We're Young was a definitive recording for Abercrombie's vaunted trio, this CD simply offers a different slant. It's the sign of a group either in transition of evolution, and whatever the case, it's an intriguing step for these three uncanny sonic explorers".[2]
