In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow noted that "there is certainly plenty of variety" on the album, and stated: "all five selections work in their own unpredictable way."[1]
The editors of The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide awarded the album a full 5 stars, and contributor John Swenson called the opening track, "Crepuscule: Suite for Monk," "a stunning tribute" to Thelonious Monk.[6]
Writer and musician John Corbett wrote: "Much of the record's success revolves around Altschul's inventive writing, which has the complexity of classic [Anthony] Braxton but also a driving clarity and forthrightness." He singled out the opening track for praise, describing it as "splendid" and "free of the nasty clichés that now plague covers of Monk," and commenting: "It's just like Monk would have wanted."[8]
