AllMusic[3]

AllMusic gave the album 4½ stars with Michael G. Nastos' review stating: "Although Flanagan has many high points in an exceptional career, this is certainly up there with the best, and a great set of Cliff Notes for doing the jazz piano trio right. Highly recommended".[3]

Personnel
gollark: * bad
gollark: PHP is the enemy of mankind. PHP must be destroyed at all costs. Unless the costs involve using COBOL or something.
gollark: It's the internet. Roving bot things are automatically scanning probably every publicly routable device and trying exploits constantly (my webserver logs are filled with what looks like exploits on poorly designed PHP/CGI applications). Don't make their job easier.
gollark: <@428037846721626123> How could you possibly think that an internet-exposed anonymous FTP server was a good idea?
gollark: This does not appear funny, and would be in the wrong channel if it was.
