Allmusic[4]

In his review on Allmusic, Michael G. Nastos called stated "This recording displays all the why's and wherefore's as to his unsung greatness, showcasing his clever compositions and his clear, distinct, definite tenor tone that holds allegiance to no peer or predecessor"[4] All About Jazz noted "The Tenor Stylings Of Bill Barron somehow was engineered for sharper and more assertive sound reproduction, clarifying the roles of the instruments within each piece. Furthermore, the compositions on the album are based upon single themes for the most part".[5]

Personnel
gollark: Oh, lyric, heard of Newcomb's paradox?
gollark: In that case it's essentially "pick the both cooperating reward or pick the both defecting reward".
gollark: I guess if you *know* both will make the same decision, sure.
gollark: What? No. The rational choice is ALWAYS defection if you're only playing once. It's strictly better.
gollark: It isn't built with that assumption. The government will <:bees:724389994663247974> you if they determine you're not paying sufficient tax.
