The Indianapolis Star wrote that Breakstone "does well sticking to melodic invention for the most part, though he taxes the listener's patience in taking such ballads as Thelonious Monk's 'Pannonica' and 'Where or When' past the eight-minute mark." [5]
In his review on AllMusic, Scott Yanow states: "Breakstone, whose musical path has been consistent since his early days, sticks to bop on a program including two originals, a few standards, and songs by Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk ... All of Joshua Breakstone's recordings thus far are worth getting by straight-ahead jazz fans". [4]
