Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Most of the selections, although allegedly 'standards,' were of more recent vintage (like 'A Lot of Livin' to Do' and 'If I Were a Carpenter'), and even if Morgan and the other musicians play well, nothing too exciting occurs. Although not a dud, it was not a major loss that this recording stayed in the vaults."[ 1]
