In his review for AllMusic, Alain Drouot states "This recording is one of the best testimonies to Cyrille's art as well as a major statement by three great and inspired musicians at the peak of their powers."{{allMusic|last=Drouot|first=Alain|class=album|id=mw0000002812|title=Trio 3 – Encounter: Review|accessdate=December 20, 2015}}
Gary Giddins wrote: "Oliver Lake, Andrew Cyrille, and Reggie Workman unite with a kind of loft-era thrift, and everything works—the energy level high, the effect sparkling yet controlled, and never a tossed-off moment. Lake's timbre is a saw with inch-long teeth and thoroughly fetching; I'd love to hear him commune with Lee Konitz."{{cite book |last=Giddins |first=Gary |title=Weather Bird: Jazz at the Dawn of its Second Century |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=2004 |pages=413 }}
