Reception

Scott Yanow reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote of Shearing and Jones that "Their unique matchup as a two-piano duo on this Concord release works surprisingly well for the two pianists manage to stay out of each other's way and the ensembles are not overcrowded. ...the results are swinging and tasteful. This somewhat obscure Concord CD is worth investigating".
