AllMusic[3]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "a set of duets that are primarily introspective and thoughtful. However, the melodies (mixing together originals and standards) are strong, Liebman's reeds (tenor, soprano and alto flute) provide some variety, and the musical communication is very tight".[3]
