Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 5 stars stating "These three masterful players recorded together in many settings during the Pablo years, but only this once as a trio. The colorful repertoire acts as a device for the musicians to construct some brilliant bop-based solos".[2]
