Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "This blues-oriented set is more accessible than many of Air's previous recordings without watering down the explorative nature of this always-interesting group". The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said it "captures the telepathic agreement of Air's members in full glory".
