AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "For this 1985 session, altoist Benny Carter (then a week short of turning 78 years old) is teamed with the lyrical trumpeter Joe Wilder and the Concord All-Stars .... The results are predictably excellent with the septet swinging with spirit and creativity on four standards, a blues and Carter's original 'A Kiss from You.' This album is well worth tracking down".
