Reception
Leonard Feather had this to say about the album in his April 11, 1963 review in Down Beat magazine: "Essentially the focus is on Evans, as it should be; yet because of the skill with which he and Manne cooperated, one is often conscious that an important interplay is involved, one that lifts the results far out of the normal piano-with-rhythm class."
