Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Waldron's accompaniment is typically rhythmic, creatively repetitive, brooding and personal. However it is Lee's haunting and highly expressive voice that really sticks in one's memory".[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz described the album as "a standards session on which Lee does little more than sing the songs".[4]
