Down Beat

Two for Two was released by Intakt Records. The AllMusic reviewer concluded that "The predictably unpredictable results are sure to gratify seasoned modern jazz lovers and dazzle impressionable listeners unfamiliar with this kind of creative exchange". The Down Beat reviewer commented on the humour in some of the playing and wrote that "fans of both musicians will enjoy this solid and cohesive – not to mention delightful – effort".
