Reception
editThe AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states "Kenny Wheeler's beautiful sound on trumpet and his wide range are well-displayed on his four compositions, three of which are given performances over ten minutes long... Wheeler emphasizes lyricism and romantic moods on this fine set of original music."[1]
