Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Easy Living is a relaxed, low-key affair that is nonetheless fully engaged and deceptive in its pastoral appearance... for all of its warmth and beauty, for all of its free-flowing interplay between the front line and the shimmering rhythms, this is as adventurous and poetic as jazz can be in the new century".[2]
