The Globe and Mail wrote that, "with his subtle trumpet and vocal styles, he is one of the great expressionists, an artist whose emotional power exceeds his musical virtuosity."[8]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "This was the perfect setting during his later years. The trumpeter (who also sings on two of the six songs) sounds very relaxed and comfortable".[5]
