Reception[edit]

AllMusic awarded the album 4½ stars out of five, with reviewer Alex Henderson calling it "a consistently interesting date" fueled by a host of supporting players well versed in Evans' music, and by Vitro's uniquely personal take on a variety of Evans themes and belatedly added lyrics.[1]
