In his review on
Allmusic, Scott Yanow notes that "This is a logical and very successful collaboration featuring the East Coast tenor Houston Person and L.A.'s legendary Teddy Edwards. Although one can generally tell the two veterans apart (Person has a heavier sound than the comparatively light-toned Edwards), the co-leaders are quite complementary and work together well in the tradition of
Sonny Stitt and
Gene Ammons ... Edwards and Person pay tribute to eight great tenors of the past (John Coltrane,
Ben Webster, Lester Young,
Stan Getz,
Coleman Hawkins, Gene Ammons,
Dexter Gordon, and
Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis) through their renditions of eight standards ... Recommended"[5]
