AllMusic | [5] |
AllMusic reviewer Dave Nathan stated: "That this get together was a relaxed affair (as things usually were with Sims) is very apparent. The eight-song program includes nothing adventurous that would require much thinking or musical dexterity on the part of these experienced musicians. The many moods which characterized Sims' playing are evident here ... All in all, this was an entirely satisfactory proceeding".[5]
