Reception
The Allmusic review by Rick Anderson states "most noteworthy of all is the quality of his compositions. "Pendulum at Falcon's Lair" is a piece of world-class bebop writing, while "Tamalpais Love Song" is almost classical in its structure, achieving a counterintuitive combination of complexity and simple beauty". In JazzTimes, Duck Baker wrote "This 1953 date is a highly-arranged, lightly-swinging affair that features nice soloing".
