Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 1½ stars and states: "This particular LP was already more than half completed with Adderley taking his last solos on three of the selections... but unfortunately none of the music is all that memorable.... After Cannonball's death 'Lovers' (which had been planned for the album) was recorded as a memorial.... The intentions were honorable but the music is pretty forgettable."[3]
