The Penguin Guide to Jazz| [1]

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars, commenting: "many beautiful moments for this long-standing partnership".[1] In a review for All About Jazz, Enzo Vizzone wrote: "Wheeler and Taylor have produced some great music together in the past, but seldom as irresistibly gorgeous as this... The material, six originals by Wheeler, three by Taylor, allow free rein to their imagination and the results are sublime, their beauty enhanced by the sensitively detailed recording".[2]
