In a review for the All About Jazz website Jack Bowers observed: "Even though DeFrancesco's name is on the marquee, this is clearly a group effort in which everyone plays an essential role. Needless to say, the recording itself is first-class, playing time respectable at just under an hour. For fans of organ trios in general and Joey DeFrancesco in particular, a charming and readily endorsed session". [2] In JazzTimes , Owen Cordle wrote: "The organist recorded his second album at Van Gelder’s famous Englewood Cliffs, N.J., studio in 1990 and another album there eight years later. Now comes this tribute, with DeFrancesco’s trio reprising several tunes originally recorded by Van Gelder ... By focusing on Van Gelder’s work, DeFrancesco gives this album a worthy theme and artful purpose". [3]
