Source Rating
Allmusic 3/5 stars[1]

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album three stars and wrote that "Despite the constant changing of instrumentation, the results (although pleasant) are uneventful and somewhat predictable. Good for late-night background music rather than for close listening."[1]
