Reception Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [ 2]
AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars, with its review by Ken Dryden stating: "This solo date in a Paris studio finds Jaki Byard in his usual jaunty mood at the piano, whether reviving a forgotten jazz tune like "Bugle Call Rag " (before it became a bluegrass standard), increasing the intensity of an often dull ballad "Besame Mucho ," or revising "Willow Weep for Me " with the choppy approach that helped to make his sound so distinctive".[ 2]
