The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek states: "This intimacy, this quiet brilliance and restraint that Koglmann shows here on his works -- some of which were initially written for and performed by the Pipetet -- is a statement not only of how versed the man is in the traditions of jazz and classical music but just how aware he is of his own mates' musical strengths".
