Reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [5]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "Although this CD is technically listed under all four musicians' names, Jordan is primarily the lead voice. His sound was always instantly recognizable and he seemed to be in a good mood for the date, judging by the many song quotes he throws into his solos" calling it "a good example of the hard bop mainstream of the early 1990's as played by some of its best practioners [sic]".[5]
