Review

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awards the album a full 5 stars and states "Although he had been a major tenor saxophonist in the studios for nearly 20 years and was quite popular for his work with the Brecker Brothers, this MCA/Impulse set was Michael Brecker's first as a leader."[1] The album was issued in two versions: LP record and CD. The CD version has a bonus track, "My One and Only Love".
