Reception
In a review at AllMusic, Thom Jurek referred to Braxton and Frith as "two graying lions of free improvisation [and] innovation", and called their performance on the album "very inspired, playful, and in places, breathtaking". Jurek was particularly impressed with "Improvisation No 3", which he described as "wooly, but ... also so utterly intuitive and sensible it nearly feels like a composed piece".
Writing in All About Jazz Kurt Gottschalk called Braxton and Frith "master improviser[s]: not quoting past masters, not riffing off each other, but simply playing with conviction and having the patience, fortitude, technique and vision to stick with and develop ideas without inflating egos". He described this collaboration as "a chance encounter that paid off royally".
