Reception
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated: "This was his only opportunity to lead a record date and the results are pleasingly straightahead. ... Nothing surprising occurs but Reed (particularly on a warm version of the ballad "But Beautiful") is in fine form".
DownBeat assigned the album 4 stars. Reviewer Jay Safane wrote, "This fine album reveals more on repeated hearings".
