the all about jazz review by mark sullivan said that "however unorthodox all this cross-translation seems, tander makes it sound completely natural. her intimate, lyrical voice is equally at home in both languages, as well as singing wordless vocalise and improvising. gustavson still plays the piano as his main instrument, but has augmented it with discreet electronics and occasional synthesizer bass, while vespestad provides percussive textures or timekeeping as required. so the group is a true trio, not just a vocalist with accompanists."
