Reception
{{Music ratings
| rev1 = Allmusic
}}
The Allmusic review by Brian Olewnick stated "The pieces, as well as Braxton's approach to the piano, tend to ramble albeit with much affection shown toward the material. He sounds a bit like a looser, less organized Don Pullen, beginning his solos inside the changes but inevitably working them into freer territory. His comping behind the other soloists is reasonably competent if perfunctory. It must be said that his voice on piano has little of the distinction or passion expressed on his multiple reeds. The rest of the musicians play the date in a fairly straight manner resulting in an OK blowing session, but all involved have created far more striking work elsewhere".{{AllMusic|first= Brian |last= Olewnick |class=album |id=mw0000646808 |title=Seven Standards 1995 – Review |accessdate=June 13, 2017}}
