Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow wrote that the "versions of 'Don't Stop the Carnival' and 'Autumn Nocturne' are memorable but most of the rest of the set, although spirited, is a bit lightweight".[ 2] Robert Christgau wrote that "the meat of the album is sustaining if not exquisite, jazz food that anyone can digest."[ 6]
