Reception

The AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow awarded the album 4.5 stars.[2] He recommends the album and points out that we get a definitive look at how the tenor saxophonist Joshua Redman sounded in the mid 1990's, by listening to it. Redman is joined by Peter Martin (piano), Christopher Thomas (bass), and Brian Blade (drums), and they are showing off both a wide range and lyricism stretching from Gene Ammons (saluted on "Jig-a-Jug") to late John Coltrane.
