Reception The AllMusic review by Ron Wynn states, "Trumpeter Herb Robertson doesn't plug into any musical trend, whether it's hard bop, repertory, or fusion. He's among a handful of contemporary players who defy easy compartmentalization while striving for their own voice and sound".Wynn, R., Allmusic Review accessed December 11, 2014
