Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Braxton has done numerous recordings of standards, and even a double CD on this same label of his readings of Charlie Parker. But as fine as most of those recordings are, none of them matches the lyrical brilliance and subtle grace of this tribute".^[2]
