Critical reception
Scott Yanow noted that "the recording quality is quite erratic" and described it as "not the strongest Bud Powell set available," but also commented that "this interesting release hints at what might have been and shows that Powell could still play well this late in his troubled life."[1]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz gave a higher rating and described Powell's performances at Birdland as "the last great sessions of his life."[2]
