The review by Allmusic's Scott Yanow said: "Although all eight selections on this CD have been played many times before, altoist Frank Morgan makes each of the pieces sound fresh. ... A fine effort".[4]
JazzTimes' Willard Jenkins noted "By no means a frenzied, pot-boiling affair, Morgan takes the time to nurse the nuances of the music. This is a very relaxed-though far from somnambulant-date befitting a man of Morgan’s astute bop immersion. His alto tone is relaxed and confident, and he addresses these lines as if born to them".[5]

gollark: It might optimize it. I said "may".
gollark: Passing a function pointer MAY be mildly less efficient.
gollark: It might make the binary huge due to monomorphization.
gollark: No, it should still work as a closure.
gollark: It does not return those, I misread it.
