Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars and states: "Adderley's next-to-last recording (cut just four months before he died of a stroke at age 46) was ironically a retrospective.... A recommended set with plenty of excellent music, it serves as a fine overview of Cannonball Adderley's career."
