AllMusic | [2] |
AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars, with its review by Ken Dryden stating: "This solo date in a Paris studio finds Jaki Byard in his usual jaunty mood at the piano, whether reviving a forgotten jazz tune like "Bugle Call Rag" (before it became a bluegrass standard), increasing the intensity of an often dull ballad "Besame Mucho," or revising "Willow Weep for Me" with the choppy approach that helped to make his sound so distinctive".[2] (The AllMusic review is of the album's re-release edition, which features multiple bonus tracks.)
