Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Friedman's playing (which shows the strong influence of modern classical music, particularly in its chords) rewards repeated listenings".Yanow, S. AllMusic Review, accessed October 23, 2012
DownBeat critic Pete Welding had this to say about A Day in the City in his April 26, 1962, review: "Friedman is a pianist of extraordinary ingenuity and originality. Friedman will strike most listeners as a spiritual cohort of Bill Evans, for their approaches are markedly similar."
