Reception

Scott Yanow of AllMusic said "Cables has long been a talented player in what could be called the 'modern mainstream': not breaking down any new boundaries but developing his own style in the flexible boundaries of hard bop. This album is an excellent example of his talents". The Penguin Guide to Jazz describes the album as a "beautifully balanced piano trio record".
