## Reception

The [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) review by [Scott Yanow](/source/Scott_Yanow) states "Kenny Wheeler's beautiful sound on trumpet and his wide range are well-displayed on his four compositions, three of which are given performances over ten minutes long... Wheeler emphasizes lyricism and romantic moods on this fine set of original music."[1]
