AllMusic[4]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz[5]

The AllMusic reviewer concluded: "Not a bad record, though not as unforgettable as his stuff from over two decades before."[4] The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote: "Hutcherson continues his Indian summer in the studios with swarming, harmonically dense lines and Henderson's profoundly cast solos evince all the great maturity which seems to have eluded Byrd".[5]
