The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "Rollins was in a strolling mood and he wanders all over the stage which means that he is off-mic much of the time. His playing on these five standards (which includes a 16-minute version of the title tune) is fine, but the erratic recording quality makes this one of the lesser Rollins albums."[2] Music critic Robert Christgau praised the album, writing of the title track: "The man is expansive here, too—casually interpolating rapt modal runs into his thoughtful thematic improvisations on the 16-minute title tour de force..."[5]
