AllMusic[3]

Scott Yanow of AllMusic stated "Walter Bishop, Jr.'s first (and thus far only) full set of unaccompanied piano solos sounds fine. ... although one often wishes that the bop-oriented pianist had been joined by bass and drums (which might have inspired him to play with more passion on this occasion). Worthwhile but not essential music".[3]

Personnel

gollark: I could do that, but that would be bad, since C is not powerful enough to make it not bad.
gollark: My own... C?
gollark: Just this morning I did `sorted(itertools.product(range(w), range(h)))` to do some accursed thing I forgot on a grid.
gollark: C makes that very unpleasant.
gollark: I really enjoy horribly abusing itertools in Python.
