The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states that the album "...has plenty of memorable moments and is a surprising but logical success; Tyner's orchestral piano blended with the strings very well."[1] Chris Sheridan of Jazz Journal thought the album "possesses a winning boldness and vitality". He commended Tyner, whose music he described as "thickly-textured, and both melodically and rhythmically complex", but criticized the "ostinato motif" of "You Stepped out of a Dream", describing it as "a little mundane".[4]
