Reception
Writing in the Chicago Tribune Jack Fuller stated: "It is a simple pleasure to listen to Cedar Walton play piano. He has all the basics, beginning with swing. There's a literate sense of humor, too, that shows up in the music he quotes. Here, with Billy Higgins on drums and Buster Williams on bass, he does a set of standards in the right place."[ 3] Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars and called it an "Excellent hard bop-based music from the talented pianist".[ 4]
