Reception
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "During the late '80s up to the present, Benny Carter (now an octogenarian) has recorded a string of consistently excellent and frequently superb CDs for Music Masters. This particular effort is a rare live recording for Carter with his regular group ... The repertoire is typical of his club performances ... A special treat is Carter's trumpet solo on "Time for the Blues"; otherwise his wonderful alto dominates this fine set".
