Reception

"The Penguin Guide to Jazz" agrees with Allmusic reference above, calling the album a "simply recorded session." However, they call it "another very fine record from a consistently underrated player." ["The Penguin Guide to Jazz" by Richard Cook, Brian Morton, et al. pg 190.] This is likely because " [Burrell] performs with such immaculate precision infused with emotional depth that each piece is a joy to hear," comments AMG reviewer Steven Loewy.
