Reception
The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album four and a half stars and wrote: "The soulful Ammons and the bop-oriented Stitt meshed well whether playing standards, jamming on familiar melodies, or in ballad form. While not an out-and-out knock-down, drag-out event like their other recordings, this is still one of too few magical efforts with Ammons and Stitt together. Those who crave the live cutting sessions that made jazz very exciting in the early '60s might also consider this tamer studio effort."[1]

gollark: Garbage collection is known to be slow and manual memory management is hard.
gollark: What I do is just dump my application's known state into a file, restart it, and reload that state, every 10 minutes. But I never free memory. Efficiency.

gollark: There are channel limits to worry about though. Also they can be multiblocks.
