Reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [ 3]
The review by AllMusic 's Scott Yanow said: "Every Morgan recording is well worth picking up (the altoist has been very consistent in the studio), but this one purposely has less mood variation than most and is often a bit melancholy."[ 3]
