Reception

In his review for Allmusic, David R. Adler notes that "Drummer/percussionist Jerry Granelli and organist/pianist Jamie Saft team up on this quirky and fairly chaotic set of duets.... The two principals cover a lot of ground, from blistering groove and noise to extreme minimalism to faux cocktail music and '70s folk... Even when they cross the line into kitsch, Granelli and Saft bring a unique perspective to live interaction and sound production".
