In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "Cowell has long had an original style within the modern mainstream and his interplay with his notable sidemen on this program always holds one's interest.". [2] The Chicago Tribune's Jack Fuller said it " is full of rich jazz trio music. Stanley Cowell`s piano dominates with styling of satisfying density. Cowell draws his sustenance from Art Tatum, and it serves him well. His music is full-bodied but never heavy and leaves one wanting more." [3]
