Reception[edit]

Professional ratings
Review scores
Source	Rating
Allmusic	^[3]
Down Beat	^[4]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings	^[5]

The Allmusic reviewer stated: "The whole album is swathed in a gauzy glow that speaks even more eloquently than its creator's conceptual ambition; this is music from the heart as well as the mind".^[3] Down Beat reviewer Don Nelson wrote: "This tribute from Dickerson to his wife constitutes some of the finest jazz I have heard this year. It is necessary listening not only to those interested in the forward march of Walt Dickerson, but to those interested in the forward march of jazz".^[6]
