Allmusic reviewer by Ken Dryden said "These sessions, drawn from several nights at Bourbon Street in Toronto during the fall of 1975, are intimate performances enjoyed by attentive audiences ... Desmond's cool tone and witty quotes are a treat throughout the album ... This is easily the cream of the crop of Paul Desmond's post-Brubeck recordings as a leader and rivals the studio albums he recorded with Jim Hall".[4]

gollark: Yes, I know. It doesn't depend on that.
gollark: You fractionally get 1 million and fractionally die.
gollark: Well, it's good if 1e6/n - (equivalent monetary cost of dying)/n > 0. Multiply both sides by n and it's trivial.
gollark: 1e6 = 1 million.
gollark: The expected value is 1e6/n - (equivalent monetary cost of dying)/n. So whether it is a good choice depends on whether (equivalent monetary cost of dying is greater than 1e6 euros, which is no.
