AllMusic[6]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "Always a bit underrated and overshadowed, trumpeter Bill Hardman was a solid soloist in the tradition of Clifford Brown. He led three Muse albums during 1978-81, of which this was the second. ... Hardman is heard in top form".[6]

Personnel

gollark: There's a firewolf potat.os website which installs potatOS due to their bad sandboxing.
gollark: It wouldn't be a dropin replacement otherwise.
gollark: k.lua probably helps. The addition of a specific eventing framework + the whole initialization mess... not really.
gollark: Honestly, I think Jua and the whole mess of h, w, jua, k and whatever makes shops *harder*.
gollark: I mean "here" in a vaguer sense of "not invented by Ale or whoever".
