The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "In addition to three of his basic originals, Hawes performs fresh and swinging versions of seven standards, making such overplayed tunes such as 'I Got Rhythm,' 'What Is This Thing Called Love?,' and 'All the Things You Are' really come alive. A gem, the first of many classic Hawes dates on Contemporary". [2]
