Now You See It… (Now You Don't) was released by GRP Records.[1] AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars and its review by Scott Yanow states: "Most of the originals (either by Brecker, Beard, or producer Don Grolnick) project moods rather than feature strong melodies, but Michael Brecker's often-raging tenor makes the most of each opportunity".[2]
