Allmusic[3]

Scott Yanow of Allmusic stated, "Trumpeter Woody Shaw's final album as a leader (cut less than two years before his passing) is surprisingly upbeat. Although his health became shaky, Shaw never declined as a player, as he shows throughout the spirited quintet outing... Recommended".[3]
