The Allmusic review by Kurt Keefner called it " an album that certainly does not lack for atmosphere, but which would have benefited from greater tunefulness. Still, a very worthy effort" but stated it was "not the best place to start one's Rabih Abou-Khalil collection, especially if one is coming from a jazz background".
