AllMusic[2]

AllMusic reviewer Ken Dryden stated "this historical curiosity, originally recorded for Everest, featu[r]es just the two of them exploring the rhythmic possibilities within a dozen numbers. Jones' brushwork is matchless as usual, while Hinton's considerable technique is also apparent. ... While the playing time is brief at just 34 minutes, it's great to hear two masters at work".[2]
