AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "This session from tenor-saxophonist Stanley Turrentine often sounds like a CTI recording from the 1970s ... Turrentine's solos are stronger than the melodies and he generally overcomes the unimaginative use of strings on the ballads. Mr. T. is in fine form and he makes the most of each selection ... Recommended".[4]
