In his AllMusic review, Scott Yanow states: "Pianist Freddie Redd's first recording in eight years is quite intriguing. Redd is matched with seven diverse players on six of his compositions, most of which are little-known. The music is high-quality hard bop, and the fresh material inspires the musicians. Recommended".^[5]
