AllMusic awarded the album 4½ stars, stating: "No matter which edition one hears of the Great Jazz Trio, leader Hank Jones can be counted upon to deliver the goods. ...On this occasion, Jones is ably accompanied by Ron Carter and Tony Williams, so it is no surprise the fireworks begin right away." On
All About Jazz, John Kelman noted: "Perhaps it's because, with their shared background as members of
Miles Davis' landmark quintet of the mid-'60s, Carter and Williams were able to approach this more mainstream affair with just the right combination of unabashed swing and freer interpretation."
DownBeats Chip Stern wrote, "Simply, this is an excellent album of uncompromising music by three masters". == Track listing ==
