Reception

The Allmusic review by David R. Adler awarded the album 3 stars, stating, "It's a solo performance with a twist: Towner plays not only 12-string and classical guitars, but also very competent piano... Towner accompanies himself via overdubs, playing both guitar and piano for an effect vaguely reminiscent of Bill Evans' Conversations with Myself".[2]
