Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [ 2]
In his review on AllMusic , Stephen Cook states: "the band comes up with one of their finest releases and one of the most classic hard bop sessions since the heyday of Blue Note's '60s records. Rouse, fittingly enough, is in top form throughout, coming up with a bevy of rich and mature solo statements. Barron avails himself nicely as well. Highly recommended".[ 2]
