All About Jazz[2]

On All About Jazz, Dan Bilawski noted "This date is essentially a blowing session with solos aplenty, but these guys never phone it in. They clearly delight in exploring the material, playing off one another and, in the case of DeFrancesco and Coryell, letting their envious chops off the leash".[2] In JazzTimes, Bill Milkowski wrote: "It’s an inspired pairing with results ranging from sublime to positively pyrotechnic".[3]
