Allmusic[4]

Scott Yanow of Allmusic said "This is an unusual release, for it features altoist Lee Konitz playing unaccompanied ... in swinging but relaxed and fairly free fashion. The improvisations are quite thoughtful and logical yet avoid being predictable and hold onto one's interest throughout".[4]
