The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album four stars and said "all of the songs sound quite fresh, partly due to the unusual instrumentation and also partly because of the players' inventiveness".^[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz contrasted the playing of Steve Lacy and Stéphane Grappelli: "The saxophonist's playing seems as private as Merrill's own path through the lyrics, whereas Grappelli offers an antidote by pouring on the Gallic charm".^[2]
