Critical reception

Ken Dryden on Allmusic said "Pairing alto saxophonist Lee Konitz with pianist Hal Galper makes for plenty of inspired moments in this 1975 studio date ... both Konitz and Galper listen intensely to one another and react intuitively, as if they had been playing together for a long while".
