"These two...come to the table with minds filled with ideas that ooze out with audible passion. They are more than able to reconcile the frenetic spontaneity of free jazz with the organized structure of classical music." New Music Box

"This focused, intimate concert works out so well because the players sound so comfortable and engaged with each other's music...the impish trumpeter nearly steals the show with his wild vocalizations." Aaron Steinberg, Jazz Times

"Bynum...is superb here, opening swathes of virgin territory for Braxton to saunter into. Even Braxton's biggest fans are often overwhelmed by the sheer volume of his recording and have difficulty deciding which ones are must-haves. This is definitely one to put on that list." Brian Olewnick, All Music Guide
