Scott Yanow reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that "[Don] Thompson, who plays second piano on Herbie Hancock's "Tell Me a Bedtime Story," jams with strong intuition and consistent swing, easily picking up on Shearing's musical directions during such songs as "Pent up House," "The Shadow of Your Smile," "Cheryl" and a couple of originals", and concludes by writing that Shearing "...had his career rejuvenated during his years on Concord through stimulating musical encounters such as this one. Fine music".[2]

gollark: Except the dictator(s).
gollark: I find it hard to assume that any government actually has a coherent plan in mind, but somehow it seems to me unlikely that this sort of system of "let's monitor everything everyone says and does and have no transparency about it" is actually for anyone else's good.
gollark: i.e. "put security holes in your products but they're not actually allowed to be 'systemic weaknesses' and also you're not allowed to tell anyone".
