Allmusic     [2]

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "These veterans have little difficulty coming up with fresh statements on the six familiar chord changes that they interpret. The hard-charging Tabackin matches very well with Knepper's sly trombone; they should have a rematch someday".[2]
