The review by Allmusic's Scott Yanow said: "Altoist Frank Morgan explores his bebop roots on this infectious set ... Morgan pays tribute to Bird, yet does not copy him (although he has the ability to sometimes sound very similar to Parker). This spontaneous session has its subtle surprises and is often hard-swinging. Recommended".[4]

gollark: You're incentivized to at least stop people from starving to death and the economy from collapsing in inconvenient amounts.
gollark: I'm talking about that sort of thing, yes - using it for personal pleasure.
gollark: Well, it's *one*, sure, but I imagine many would find it easier to just... do typical tyrannical dictator things.
gollark: Like the AI friendliness problem.
gollark: It can't expose problems with how it lines up with what people would consider "good", basically.
