Recording took place in New York City at the Yamaha Artist Services in Manhattan with Corea and at the Bunker Studios in Brooklyn with Valdés.
"[12] Edward Blanco of All About Jazz stated, "Pianist and composer Eliane Elias reveals a wonderful reflection of piano madness on the dazzling Mirror Mirror, capturing the mastery of two piano legends and the fabulous key work of a third legend in the making.
One can simply not go wrong listening to the late great Chick Corea and Cuban-born master Chucho Valdes providing amazing call and respond to Elias's own keyboard play.
"[1] Peter Quinn of Jazzwise commented, "Usually combining her mellifluous, understated vocals with her towering pianism, this is Elias's first piano-only recording since her 1995 album with Herbie Hancock, Solos and Duets.
Each individual's style is fascinating enough to tempt meticulous analysis, but the album's contextual background encourages an experiential than theory-minded ear.
