Scott Yanow on Allmusic said "the two very complementary saxophonists take explorative solos on eight appealing chord changes, constantly challenging each other. Bob Mover would become much more individual within a few years but on this album it is very much like listening to a teacher and his prize student".[3]

gollark: I mostly get my notification stuff via RSS, but YouTube undoubtedly refuses to support that too.
gollark: You're missing great ones like "But I'm just going to say, I'd get a put option on you if you were publicly traded".
gollark: It's a bit repetitive.
gollark: We need some sort of list of good spirit quotes.
gollark: It might be more efficient (for me (if I could actually be bothered)) to just use patreon for support, except I think they *do* take a significant cut of things and are bad for small-amount-per-month donations.
