The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings[4]

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "Over his many years as a performer, Hank Jones has established himself not only as a major force in jazz piano, but also nonpareil when it comes to the piano trio format. This 1976 recording does absolutely nothing to diminish his matchless status in the annals of that combination."[3]
