On Allmusic, Scott Yanow observed "Trumpeter Donald Byrd's second jazz album during his comeback after years of playing R&B/funk and then totally neglecting his horn finds him starting to regain his former form. The strong supporting cast sometimes overshadows the leader on this CD but the music overall (modern hard bop) is rewarding".[4]

gollark: <@!309787486278909952> How horrible would it be to make a program which echoes arbitrary things into /dev/pts/*?
gollark: Except on Void Linux where that doesn't work somehow.
gollark: Imagine yelling when you could use `wall`.
