Reception
The Allmusic site awarded the album 4 stars stating "Nelson's attractive arrangements serve Wess quite well throughout this session... To his credit, Nelson doesn't over-arrange. There is still plenty of room for blowing and improvising, and Wess sounds very uninhibited on everything... One of Wess' most rewarding sessions".
