Critical reception
The Denver Post wrote of the album, "Sanjay Mishra plays acoustic guitar with an eclecticism well suited for his multicultural background.... [The] selections [with Garcia] are lovely and expansive." AllMusic's review said, "But the Garcia connection aside, this disc is worth a listen on the strength of Mishra's nimble guitar work and smooth compositions alone.... A gorgeous record that updates the rich traditions of Indian Classical music by placing them in a modern context." == Front Street Outtakes ==
