The review by AllMusic's Scott Yanow said: "Although all eight selections on this CD have been played many times before, altoist Frank Morgan makes each of the pieces sound fresh. ... A fine effort".

JazzTimes's Willard Jenkins noted "By no means a frenzied, pot-boiling affair, Morgan takes the time to nurse the nuances of the music. This is a very relaxed-though far from somnambulant-date befitting a man of Morgan’s astute bop immersion. His alto tone is relaxed and confident, and he addresses these lines as if born to them".
