In his AllMusic review, Scott Yanow calls the set "pleasing and thoughtful if not quite essential," noting that Branford's contributions "sometimes (liven) up the selections although mostly playing a subsidiary role to his father."[1] Don Heckman, writing in the Los Angeles Times, called the recording "one of the most appealing CDs of the year," citing "the warm camaraderie of the father-son musical connection."[2]
