Reception

The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented that this album was not as good as New York-Barcelona Crossing, Volumen 1, but that "It's Easy to Remember" is "another gorgeous ballad performance, at a dangerously slow tempo".^[2] The AllMusic reviewer wrote that "What is engrossing about the disc is the utter fluidity with which these four young musicians from varying backgrounds are able to communicate using the common language of standard songs."^[3]
