Reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [ 5]
Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars, stating that the album "showcases altoist Benny Carter in two very different settings. Side one finds him interpreting ballads in front of a string section while the flip side matches Carter with the Oscar Peterson Trio and drummer J.C. Heard . It is a credit to his versatility and talents that Benny Carter plays quite well in both formats."[ 5]
