Allmusic reviewer Eugene Chadbourne states "For McPhee and Bourdellon's combination of instruments, however, the sound of the room is simply fantastic, creating a richness that would simply not be possible using any kind of reverb-recording equipment available, analog, digital or magical".[2] On All About Jazz John Kelman states "Manhattan Tango is clearly not for the less adventurous listener. Still, with an almost telepathic connection that results in some startling coalescence of sound, rhythm and texture, it makes a strong case that free music can be more than just a cacophony of sound, that it can be the meeting point for daring and an investigation into interaction that, in some respects, is all the more compelling for its lack of traditional framework" while Rex Butters said "Manhattan Tango captures the intimacy of two friends playing in two friends' living room, materializing fire".[3][4]
