Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars and states: "The inventive interpretations give listeners plenty of surprises and variety, making this a very enjoyable outing". The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote: "Motian brings a lighter and more flowing pulse to the music than DeJohnette... 'Bye Bye Blackbird'... glides along without wires or other obvious support for more than ten minutes, a beautiful airborne performance... As so often, Peacock is more forceful and less complex out of the studio... It seems unlikely that Jarrett will ever need to go back to bar-room gigs, but here he's demonstrated his ability to work a small audience with powerful, unpretentious jazz." ==Track listing==
