AllMusic[4]

The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos said "the watchwords for this recording are erudite, refined, intelligent, and above all, sophisticated. Appreciative veteran jazz lovers will want this excellent set of straight-ahead jazz from one of the true masters who needs to reclaim or affirm nothing in his decades as one of the true legends in American music".[4]

All About Jazz's George Kanzler stated "He has displayed an unfailing gift for suave melodies combined with elaborate and sophisticated harmonies, all spiced with rhythms ranging from sultry saunters to high-stepping marches. And his playing, like his compositions, never relinquishes melody, no matter how baroque or extravagant his bebop-inspired harmonic flights may soar.".[5]

JazzTimes' Perry Tannenbaum observed "Surprises are strewn along our path as Golson temporarily disregards Broadway in favor of Verdi and Chopin".[6]
