In his review on All About Jazz, C. Andrew Hovan stated "Schneiderman’s art is one of understated elegance and over the course of his previous eight Reservoir sides he has evolved into a singular pianist of great merit. This new affair is simply a trio date with bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Winard Harper, although there’s nothing routine about the results." [5] In his review on Jazz Times, Miles Jordan opined "...Schneiderman’s playing won’t make us forget Powell but it’s nice to be reminded of him." [6]
