Reception

The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 4 stars and states: "In this set of nine originals, the Horace Silver touch is clearly evident: happy, strong melodies; groovin' beats; Silver's deft, deliberate, bluesy piano comping and boppin' leads... His tunefully familiar, head-noddin' original funk is as vital as ever and sounds pretty fresh compared to some of the trite neo-bop being reprocessed this past decade. Silver's light, spare, and soulful style is a sound for sore ears, one that has a universal, timeless appeal, crossing generational and commercial barriers. This is well-played music, a specialty Silver has envisioned and realized through the bulk of his career. Highly recommended."[1]
