Reception

In her review for Allmusic, Heather Phares said "Toys continues Uri Caine's integration of disparate styles into jazz... his technical brilliance and mercurial style shine".[2] Writing for All About Jazz, Robert R. Calder said "neither the most spontaneous nor always the most profound. Technical accomplishment it does have in spades, however".[3]
