Nastos calls the album "an auspicious starting point, albeit long winded, for a magical performer whose sound and smarts captured the imagination of so many fellow musicians and listeners from this point onward." The DownBeat review by Mikal Gilmore assigned four stars and praised Wheeler's "purity of sound", finding his tone reminiscent of 1960s Miles Davis and his accuracy reminiscent of Dizzy Gillespie. But Gilmore wrote, "Wheeler’s attack and dynamics are monotonously dispassionate, his coloring and sonority undilutedly dull", and reserved his highest praise for Jarrett's accompaniment. ==Personnel== Kenny Wheeler – flugelhorn Keith Jarrett – piano Dave Holland – bass Jack DeJohnette – drums ==References==
