Allmusic[2]

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow recommended the album awarding it 4 stars and stating: "the two obscure sessions on this Xanadu set were pianist Walter Bishop Jr.'s only dates as a leader during the 1964-70 period... Throughout, Walter Bishop Jr. plays at his most creative, extending the bebop tradition during the enjoyable performances".[2]
