Allmusic[2]

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow called it an "enjoyable and relaxed bop date".[2] On All About Jazz Samuel Chell observed "Feldman's versatility may have worked against him, as it caused the limited jazz public to view him as a "miscellaneous musician," with vibes another rabbit in his bag of tricks. But listening to him closely is to experience a player who eschews the slow vibrators of Milt Jackson while making melodic sense on his own terms. In fact, he may deserve as much credit as Gary Burton for moving the instrument forward after Jackson had brought it into the age of bebop".[3]
