The All Music review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 3 ½ stars and simply states: "Inspired by various American jazz influences, Italian pianist Roberto Magris presents an ambitious, live, in-concert program with his Europlane Orchestra. The music is expansive and broad based, charted and arranged quite heavily while allowing solo space with harmonic nuances that at times sound electronic. Magris himself seems always inspired as a post-McCoy Tyner modal modernist, and his band follows suit for this powerful statement of new jazz wine sealed in old ornate bottles."¹
