The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow observed: "As is usual on Carter's records, he is the main soloist on many of the songs though Scott also has plenty of good spots". [2] In JazzTimes, Fred Bouchard stated: "Forget the name, the title, the aura of legend. This is a decent little trio album by a primo rhythm section, with extra added percussion, without bass-clef sturm und drang. ... The set is slowed only by his limp compositions and lack of charts. Three standards and a jazz classic go well enough, and so does an original blues. But two nine-minute slow-loping sambas back to back, with an excess of vamping, hogtie the date". [4]
All compositions by Ron Carter except where noted
