Reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [ 2]
The AllMusic review by Jim Todd stated: "The result, while not essential listening, is a satisfying and honest set that provides an appealing portrait of both Cook and Mitchell, two central, although not seminal, figures in the development of hard bop."[ 2]
