Allmusic[2]

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars.[2] Bill Bennett wrote in JazzTimes, "Space and shadow vie with sound and light in this set of explorations by pianist Masabumi Kikuchi, bassist Gary Peacock, and drummer Paul Motian. They present themselves, to each other and to the listener, through conversations that are rife with allusions and invitations to dance".[3]
