Reception
The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 4 stars and stated "hard bop is at the core of this band, but Byrd is moving further into post-bop... as he takes a break from forceful interaction to play a more democratic role on this refined and mature album that is less brash, a prelude for his more powerful statements yet to come".[4]
