AllMusic	[4]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "The talented multi-instrumentalist Ira Sullivan made a rare return to Chicago for this set, ... Switching between trumpet, flugelhorn, soprano and flute, Sullivan performs a couple of originals and four standards ... This is a more straight-ahead than usual program of music by the adventurous improviser".[4]
