Reception
AllMusic states "Despite the fact that this isn't the most fully confident release in Caliman's Mainstream catalog it is noteworthy for introducing a very solid and creative voice on the tenor horn ... If it has any real faults, it's ultimately that the leader proves too democratic at his own expense. This serves as an introduction to a fine re-appraisal of one of jazz's more forgotten talents".
