Reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [ 3]
AllMusic gave the album 4½ stars with Michael G. Nastos' review stating: "Although Flanagan has many high points in an exceptional career, this is certainly up there with the best, and a great set of Cliff Notes for doing the jazz piano trio right. Highly recommended".[ 3]
