The Globe and Mail wrote that Haden "is in fact slow a-finger; by emphasis and omission he makes each note count... Once, and finally, he gets the music moving—the tune is Django's 'Dinette'—Escoude comes to life, and Reinhardt with him."[3]
The AllMusic review by Brian Olewnick stated: "A warm, unhurried session, one that Haden fans will enjoy for both his prominence and creativity as well as for Escoude's carefully considered contributions".[1]
