Kuhn is backed by bassist David Finck and a fifteen-strong string ensemble conducted by Carlos Franzetti.

[1] The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars stating "this is one of the finest recordings Kuhn has ever issued.

Simply put, for all the decades spent adventuring on the boundaries where various traditions blur, the pianist and composer articulate direct emotion as the most effective communicator here, no matter what terrain is navigated in form.

A breathtaking and intimate outing, this is a career-topping effort.

"[2] All tracks are written by Steve Kuhn; Orchestrated and conducted by Carlos Franzetti.
