Reception
The Allmusic review by Rovi awarded the album 3 stars stating "John Abercombie makes it clear on Cat 'n' Mouse exactly why he continues to be regarded as one of jazz's most creative and progressive guitarist... On the album's numerous contemplative tunes, it's a pleasure to hear Abercombie and Feldman's lines cris-crossing, creating spontaneous tone poems that bear beauty and invention in equal measure".[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 4 stars stating "John sounds in great form but it's very often the fiddle that cuts through the mix to make the most empathic statements".[3]
