Reception
Writing for Allmusic, music critic Rick Anderson wrote of the album "... what is consistently striking is his mastery of the stage and the warmth and gentle virtuosity of his playing — attributes that would later come to define his art, but which are remarkable in an artist performing solo for the first time... Highly recommended."
