In an article for the Chicago Reader Bill Meyer notes that "Mosley's shifts between relaxed swing and edgy funk keep his partners on their toes, and the CD's high point comes when his lively calypso beat on 'Gin and Bourbon Street' prompts Anderson to channel his inner Sonny Rollins."[3] A reviewer for The Free Jazz Collective wrote: "here is another excellent Fred Anderson album... You can not but admire the man. His love of music is truly contagious. Impossible to listen to this without enjoying it too!"[2]
