Reception

The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars stating "From the jump, the listener can tell this is no ordinary Monk tribute. The music is fast, skittering along at a dervish's pace... radically reinterpreted, played and executed with a degree of musicianship seldom found on any tribute".[2]
