AllMusic[3]

The Los Angeles Times called trumpeter Brian Lynch "a splendid writer and soloist."[4]

Scott Yanow of AllMusic stated: "The final recording by Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers found the 70-year old drummer (just months before his death) doing what he loved best, leading a group of young players through hard-swinging and generally new music in the hard-bop style... A satisfying final effort from an irreplaceable drummer and bandleader".[3]
