AllMusic

In his review for AllMusic, Alain Drouot states "Mitchell achieves a fine equilibrium between introspection, angularity, and intensity... The performance has a timeless quality since Mitchell only tries to fulfill his artistic mission, makes no concession to trends, and refuses to compromise with his ideas."

The All About Jazz review by Marc Medwin says "Mitchell's recordings can elicit a deeply intuitive but ultimately inexplicable sense of unification in the face of superficial diversity, and this newest double disc is no exception."
