Reception

Allmusic reviewer Jim Todd called it a "superior hard bop date" stating "Green's sound is distinguished by a finely controlled, soft articulation. It's not the squealing, serpentine legato of Eric Dolphy, but there are similarities. Green's approach allows him to play continuous streams of ideas rippled with the modulations of his subtle tonguing".[4]
