Reception

Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars with a review stating, "The "Never Again" title refers to James Moody's pledge to stick to tenor and not play alto anymore. He did not reach that goal 100% in the future but did successfully shift his emphasis to tenor which he plays exclusively on this superior Muse LP... Highly recommended".^[3]
