Reception [ ] Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings [4]
The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 4½ stars and stated: "Cool and understated might be better watchwords for what the ultra-melodic Dorham achieves on this undeniably well crafted set of standards and originals that is close to containing his best work overall during a far too brief career... Never known as a boisterous or brash player, but also not a troubadour of romanticism... Dorham's music is also far from complacent, and this recording established him as a Top Five performer in jazz on his instrument. It comes recommended to all."[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings describes the album as “a minor masterpiece.”[4]
