Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Although somewhat overlooked in the jazz history books, vibraphonist Teddy Charles was for a period an important participant in the early Third Stream movement, using aspects of classical music to revitalize West Coast-style jazz... This session alternates cookers with sensitive ballads and is one of the better recorded showcases for Charles' vibes. Recommended".
