Reception
In 2005, The Gazette wrote that, "with American trombone giant Roswell Rudd, whose wizardry connects New Orleans with the 'new thing', the two play elastic lines as if one."
The AllMusic review by Brian Olewnick stated: "Recordings like this one are fine introductions to this underappreciated trumpeter's work."Olewnick, B. AllMusic Review accessed September 12, 2011
DownBeat reviewer Douglas Clark wrote, "Given the somewhat sketchy nature of the compositions, it is clearly the solos—open and expressive statements—that make this release worthwhile".
