AllMusic reviewer Judith Schlesinger stated "This CD represents one venerable pianist paying tribute to another: Sir Roland Hanna and his fine trio playing compositions by, associated with, or written for John Lewis, the musical director of the Modern Jazz Quartet for all of its life. Lewis was admired for his distinctive bop playing and his creative involvement with one of the greatest groups in jazz history, but only one of his originals has become a standard ... In fact, the standouts on this CD are actually Hanna's pieces ... Overall, a genteel and refined session". [5]
