In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek says that the record "is one of those magical dates where everything that happens does so for a reason, and the result clarifies the process without much effort."[2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz says about the pianist that "At moments, he sounds as if be might be playing scores pieces by Xenakis or Stockhausen; at others, some passionate folk theme seems about to announce itself. Parker goes about his music with the same intensity as ever, listening, responding, interpolating new ideas."[3]
