Matt Collar of AllMusic wrote, "Clayton conjures a richly soulful and dreamlike atmosphere... crafting songs that straddle the line between classical chamber music and flowing modal post-bop. [...] There's a spiritual, imagistic quality to much of the album that has the feel of a '70s ECM recording."
John Fordham, for Jazzwise, described the album as "a smoothly romantic choice that might not endear itself to the jazz hardcore, but will undoubtedly make plenty of friends elsewhere".
All tracks are written by Gerald Clayton except where noted.
