The AllMusic review by Ron Wynn states, "The trio sometimes unite for piercing interpretations as on 'Stella by Starlight' and other times collide and interact on furious rhythm dialogues and extended improvisations." [2]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz said, "Not known as a big standards player Abercrombie turns in a beautiful 'Stella by Starlight' here, perfectly weighted this side of sentimentality, and an unforgettable version of the less well-known Dietz/Schwartz 'Haunted Heart'. Johnson and Erskine make a convincing team." [3]
