Ron Wynn of Allmusic states: "Some good, sometimes excellent sax and flute work from the always reliable James Moody. This was a period in which he was dabbling sometimes in soul jazz and other times in hard bop, but mostly played mainstream, straight-ahead originals, standards, and ballads". [4]
All compositions by Tom McIntosh, except as indicated
