The album was recorded in October 2001.[2]
In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states "This is one of the best records in Thirsty Ear's 'Blue' series thus far, and, more importantly, it reveals to American audiences what a monster Taborn really is as a pianist."[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz says "There are hints of nursery rhyme and calipso on the opening track which suggest a certain personal resonance, and which inevitably recalls some of Andrew Hill's Caribbean stuff, but elsewhere the tone is more sombre."[2]
