Allmusic reviewer Thom Jurek states "Of all the Joe McPhee duet recordings, this one is by far the most visionary, moving, and inspired musically and spiritually. ...there is sense about these pieces that the nature of freely improvised music is a process of unfolding oneself -- making oneself available not only to the spirit of the music, but also completely open to the other".^[2]
