Reception

The Allmusic review stated "The third in Lalo Schifrin's series of grand fusions between the London Philharmonic and an all-star jazz combo is the most successful one yet. The immovable objects of symphony orchestra and jazz group are getting more closely in sync, thanks to the irresistible forces of Schifrin's long experience in both camps and his own luscious personal orchestral signatures... The whole thing is gorgeously and spaciously recorded; this should be a demonstration disc for hi-fi shows".[2]
