Reception

The Allmusic review by Steve Loewy awarded the album 3½ stars stating "Both Pullen and Adams fans should be satisfied with this effort, as each performer shines. While the recording may sometimes lack the seriousness that some might prefer from these giants of the genre, it's clearly one of their best group efforts".[2]
