Reception
[edit | edit source]The AllMusic review by Tim Sheridan stated: "Always the iconoclast, here pianist Bley applies her keen musical skill on baroque and chamber styles with tongue firmly in cheek and a fine string section to set the mood".[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz stated: "Very little to separate the fancy from the funky. Vintage Bley".[4]
