In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "This adventurous and well-constructed live set holds one's interest throughout and is well worth several listens."[1]
The JazzTimes review by Chris Kelsey notes "Murray's been hotter, but it's great to hear him again in a stripped-down context. And it's great to hear El'Zabar, period."[3]
