Erling Wicklund spoke highly of the album for NRK: "Stubø picks some of her favorite tunes on his second solo album, and along with her regular quartet and the MiN ensemble, she offers music of the highest quality, sprawling and full of surprises. Jørn Øien has done a wonderful job with the arrangements, ranging all the way from the playful riffs to steel blue textures, associating with Gil Evans, Debussy and Messiaen."
The Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet rated the album 5/6.
