The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating "This is a well-rounded album that features the remarkable Anthony Braxton in two separate settings. ...Recommended".[4] The album was reissued in 2015 and received many accolades. Troy Collins noted on All About Jazz that "Among the many historically important and innovative recordings Braxton made in the 1970s, Trio and Duet stands out as a major signifier of his all-encompassing, artistic vision".[5] In JazzTimes Michael J. West wrote "Forty years later, 1974’s Trio and Duet remains one of Anthony Braxton’s best albums. If anything, it’s even more compelling today because of its weight in Braxtonian history".[8]
All compositions by Anthony Braxton except where noted.
