Recording and music

The album was recorded in February 1985. [3] It was Camilo's first album as a leader. [1]

The album was released by Electric Bird. [3] The AllMusic reviewer commented that Camilo sounded too eager to display what he could do: "His intensity and energy were impressive, but at times he tried too much and stumbled getting back to the melody... It wasn't an unflawed debut, but Camilo showed that he would be a pianist to be reckoned with down the line." [1]
