Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos states "The fluid nature of Anderson's elongated solos and inexhaustible ideas fare well alongside those of Rollins, and at his advanced age are as fresh as any in the business." The All About Jazz review by Henry Smith notes that the album "It's a fitting entrance for an artist who, at over 80 years of age, continues to broaden his approach and push himself forward with unrelenting passion."Smith, Henry
