In his review for Allmusic, Mark W.B. Allender notes that "Both Feldman and Courvoisier compliment [sic] each other well as they play in perfect step with one another. Highly recommended".[2]
All About Jazz said "Feldman's playing, crystalline but fluid, evokes an intimate chamber music aesthetic. Courvoisier covers the range from lush chordal progressions to punchy clusters to light prepared-piano tinkles, constantly evolving a florid sense of drama. While the balance of improvisation and composition on this record tilts more toward the latter than usual, it's quite a refreshing change".[3]
