Allmusic[2]

The Allmusic site awarded the album 4 stars stating "Nelson's attractive arrangements serve Wess quite well throughout this session... To his credit, Nelson doesn't over-arrange. There is still plenty of room for blowing and improvising, and Wess sounds very uninhibited on everything... One of Wess' most rewarding sessions".[2]

Personnel
gollark: Ah yes, just run the radios on multi-GHz relays.
gollark: Also, efficiency not affecting architecture unless it does is quite apio form.
gollark: Even if you could theoretically implement efficient PowerPC processors, if nobody has then it doesn't really matter unless you want to custom-design CPUs at great cost.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: And efficiency is *practically* a function of architecture if you can't really buy efficient PowerPC systems, although apparently you can so oops.
