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: Did Terra *hire* you?
gollark: So Terra has previously gone on about... SS13, open source software in some ridiculous way, IRC, I think multiuser OSes, kriststock markets... what else?
gollark: What next?
gollark: Idea: LSaaS. You upload a disk image to our cloud services, which can then list all the items in a directory and provide it in a variety of formats.
gollark: Wow, PotatOS is *amazingly* effective as an antiterrariolan system.
