Reception
AllMusic's Scott Yanow stated, "The distinctive trumpeter Ted Curson is well showcased on this LP... As usual his solos are both adventurous and (due to his appealing tone and roots in earlier styles of jazz) fairly accessible. Worth searching for".Yanow, S., AllMusic Review accessed February 27, 2015
