In the Chicago Tribune, Jack Fuller stated "this one is such easy listening that you could be deceived into thinking that is all it is. ...the music is more subtle for its seeming simplicity and more satisfying for its restraint."[4] John Litweiler observed "Stanley Cowell is a straightforward, eclectic, essentially late-bop piano sophisticate, and this program of mostly trio selections is attractively lyrical. ...As composer and arranger, then, Cowell is good here; his improvising, however, is less vital."[5] In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow said "Pianist Stanley Cowell displays some of his versatility on this Concord CD".[3]
