Reception
The review by Scott Yanow in AllMusic stated: "This is a typically flawless trio set from the tasteful and swinging bop-based pianist Tommy Flanagan... If Flanagan had not recorded so many equally rewarding sets during the past 20 years, this fine CD would have received a higher rating; virtually every one of his recordings is well worth picking up".
The album was among a few records chosen as "Pick of the Month" in Jazz Journal International December 1978 edition. In a very positive review, Mike Hennessey stated: "This is almost certainly the best album Tommy Flanagan has ever recorded... An album of rare excellence."
