Scott Yanow of Allmusic wrote "The consistent pianist Mulgrew Miller leads his trio ... through a set dominated by his originals but also including "Body and Soul" and Michel Legrand's "Summer Me, Winter Me." The McCoy Tyner influence will probably always remain a significant part of Miller's style but he is such a powerful player in his own right that one really does not mind. His originals on this set range from the modal 6/4 piece "Somewhere Else" and the thoughtful "Dreamin'" to the melancholy "Carousel." As with all of Mulgrew Miller's releases thus far, this one is well worth picking up". Reviewers of Billboard noted that "One of the unsung heroes of jazz piano, Miller is once again tasteful, poignant and on-target with a trio."[3]
