AllMusic[2]

The Globe and Mail wrote that Hill "is a free player, but one with a gentle disposition, and here he builds two side-long solos ... on ideas more than energy."[3]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "The creative pianist is heard on two sidelong solo improvisations on this excellent LP, building his solos from fairly simple themes into works of great complexity and individuality".[2]
