Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 2 stars and states "Stanley Turrentine's recording of Michel Legrand's "Pieces of Dreams" is quite memorable and made the song into a standard. There are two versions of that song on this CD reissue, but unfortunately, the other six numbers and the two added alternate takes are all quite commercial... None of the other then-recent material is up to the level of "Pieces of Dreams," making this a disc that can be safely passed by".[2]
