Allmusic	[3]

Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars stating "It was an inspired idea to match alto saxophonist Jackie McLean with the Great Jazz Trio, a regularly working unit on record and in concert led by the outstanding pianist Hank Jones, joined by two first call players, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams. ...Jones' advanced playing may be a eye-opener for some fans who do not realize how advanced and wide ranging a pianist he is".^[3]
