AllMusic[3]

AllMusic awarded the album 4½ stars with its review by Jason Ankeney stating, "Wright divides his attention between his signature alto sax and flute, delivering a series of thoughtful and lyrical solos that positively radiate energy. The blues referenced in the title are more a feeling than a sound, underscoring the emotional intensity that bristles below the surface of every note".[3]
