Reception

Template:Album ratingsThe AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos calls the album "an auspicious starting point, albeit long winded, for a magical performer whose sound and smarts captured the imagination of so many fellow musicians and listeners from this point onward."[1]

The DownBeat review by Mikal Gilmore assigned four stars and praised Wheeler's "purity of sound", finding his tone reminiscent of 1960s Miles Davis and his accuracy reminiscent of Dizzy Gillespie.[2] But Gilmore wrote, "Wheeler’s attack and dynamics are monotonously dispassionate, his coloring and sonority undilutedly dull", and reserved his highest praise for Jarrett's accompaniment.[2]
