The AllMusic review by David R. Adler stated, "Their stark and somewhat somber music, which would be perfectly at home on the ECM label, still sounds contemporary. Beirach's chords are lush and, at times, quite dissonant and opaque, providing a complex harmonic foundation for the lyrical post-Coltrane musings of Liebman".{{AllMusic|first=David R. |last=Adler |class=album |id=mw0001881610 |title= David Liebman: Forgotten Fantasies – Review |accessdate=September 13, 2017}}
