Reception.

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating “Although the three selections are each quite extended, they hold one’s interest throughout. Excellent music.”

JazzTimes’s Bill Milkowski wrote that “this live outing features an all-star ensemble stretching out on just three songs”, adding that “While Petrucciani had previously played with drummer White…, the pianist had never before played with either Lagrene, Miller or Garrett, which makes this 10-year-old document all the more rare.”
