Reception
The review by Allmusic's Scott Yanow said: "After nearly 30 years off the scene, altoist Frank Morgan made a remarkable comeback. Despite his years in prison and obscurity, he had not lost anything in his playing; in fact, he had grown as an individual. ... Morgan's improbable comeback after such a long period was fortunately permanent. ... and in addition to being a historic date, the music is excellent".
