A review at AllMusic states: "Taylor's concerts are a remarkable union of man and instrument... Paramount at all times is a sense of invention and exploration, Cecil surprising himself. The focus is unrelenting... The piano-playing here is only slightly less astonishing than that exhibited in his Herculean 1974 performance, Silent Tongues. But the structure and unity (who else can create such coherent, committed, large-scale structures?) are at least as remarkable. The audience brings Taylor back for an encore. He sits down and plays for a minute and a half: an after-dinner joke."[2]
