AllMusic[2]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow observed "As is usual on Carter's records, he is the main soloist on many of the songs though Scott also has plenty of good spots".[2] In JazzTimes, Fred Bouchard stated "Forget the name, the title, the aura of legend. This is a decent little trio album by a primo rhythm section, with extra added percussion, without bass-clef sturm und drang. ... The set is slowed only by his limp compositions and lack of charts. Three standards and a jazz classic go well enough, and so does an original blues. But two nine-minute slow-loping sambas back to back, with an excess of vamping, hogtie the date".[3]
