Reception
Writing in the Oakland Tribune, Russ Wilson described the album as "Done with a lights-out, after-hours feel it is high caliber jazz that is played with a marvelously pervasive pulse."[6]
The Allmusic site awarded the album 3 stars stating: "This is a rather relaxed recording featuring baritonist Gerry Mulligan and some of his top alumni... The emphasis is on ballads and nothing too innovative occurs, but the results are pleasing and laid-back".[4]
