Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3½ stars stating "With keyboardist George Cables and vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson contributing all of the compositions, it is not too surprising that this LP has plenty of strong melodies... A fine (if not overly adventurous) outing".
