Tom Hull B+ ( Five Pointed Star Solid.svg Five Pointed Star Solid.svg ) [6]

In his review on Allmusic, Scott Yanow noted "Kenny Barron, one of those talented pianists who always seems to be underrated, breaks away from playing standards and conventional bebop on this frequently exciting trio date ... The fresh material and close interplay between the musicians make this set one of Barron's best trio recordings to date". [5]
