Scott Yanow of Allmusic states, "Best known for his tenor and alto playing (although he is also recognized as a talented flutist), Moody is here heard exclusively on soprano and flute... Moody plays quite well and sounds surprisingly effective on soprano, an instrument he would rarely return to in the future".[3]
