Five of the album's eleven compositions were recorded by Flanagan in 1957 for his debut album, Overseas, including "Relaxin' at Camarillo" and four Flanagan compositions ("Beat's Up", "Eclypso", "Verdandi" and "Dalarna"). The other titles are thematically related to the earlier album, which was recorded in Stockholm, either by their connection to the idea of the sea ("How Deep Is the Ocean", "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea", "I Cover the Waterfront", "Sea Changes"), referencing Stockholm ("Dear Old Stockholm"), or, in the case of Ma Rainy's "See See Rider", including a homophone of "sea" in the title.
AllMusic gave the album 4 stars with Ken Dryden's review stating: "It's easy to understand why Tommy Flanagan has been one of the most praised pianists over the '80s and '90s while listening to an excellent trio date such as this CD".[3] On All About Jazz, Chris M. Slawecki wrote: "in its own dignified, almost quiet, way, Sea Changes demonstrates that Tommy Flanagan remains a musician’s musician in every sense of the word – as an improviser and soloist, as a composer and arranger, as a melodic interpreter and as an accompanist for ample, robust solos by his musical partners".[4]
