AllMusic awarded the album 3 stars and in its review by Scott Yanow stated: "At this point in time, pianist Brad Mehldau's style falls between Keith Jarrett and Bill Evans, being heavily influenced by the voicings of the latter and the free yet lyrical improvising of the former."[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings has listed the album as one of its "Core Collection" for fans of jazz music.[3]
