Allmusic awarded the album 41⁄2 stars with the review by Scott Yanow stating "A rare small group date led by drummer Mel Lewis ... the music still communicates quite well. Trumpeter Freddie Hubbard is in top form during five selections; tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker and Gregory Herbert (mostly on alto) get in their licks; pianist Hank Jones and bassist Ron Carter are typically flawless, and trumpeter Cecil Bridgewater makes a guest appearance ... Excellent music".[3]

gollark: Huh, apparently my school *already* has timetables and teacher/class assignments for next school year. That might be overoptimistic of them but who knows.
gollark: It seems like one of those things which can't possibly *entirely* work, since you can't just give someone some data (an image) and then prevent them doing stuff you don't like with it, but can work a bit and at least frustrate people without specific domain knowledge.
gollark: Hmm, if you use it in a browser somehow it might not even be able to detect being screenshotted since those have better sandboxing.
gollark: Anyway, the whole "blocking screenshots" thing (or at least notifying people when they get their stuff screenshotted) seems doomed to failure like DRM. Why do Android and iOS even *tell* the app it's being screenshotted? That seems bound to be abused.
gollark: That doesn't sound inconvenient at all!
