AllMusic[3]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz[4]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "This set has plenty of stimulating and unpredictable interplay by the two giants (both of whom sound as if they have large ears). Music & Arts deserves thanks from the jazz world for making these noncommercial sounds available"[3]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes that "This is not a great astonishment, not is it as good as it might be. Berne's curious bluester often overpowers what otherwise seems impressively vivid and reciprocal music-making."[4]
