In the review on Allmusic, Scott Yanow noted " the trio's close interplay and ability to think as one" and said "The results are easily recommended".[6] On All About Jazz Tom Greenland wrote "The Perfect Set: Live at Bradley's II captures three masterful musicians and one enthusiastic audience in mutual jazz worship"[7] while Ollie Bivens said "These marvelous sixty minutes of music are like listening to an intimate conversation among long-time friends who are totally respectful of one another's views. This performance was indeed a "perfect set" and a showcase for true "smooth jazz.""[9]

Personnel

gollark: Sounds pointlessly expensive.
gollark: I tend to drop my phone and stuff constantly, so not having a case would be silly.
gollark: I already have a big case for it anyway.
gollark: Just make the phone a bit thicker, I guess?
gollark: In any case, I have so far dropped my phone on solid surfaces... upward of 10 times, I think, and water zero.
