Allmusic[3]

Allmusic's Scott Yanow said: "This mostly ballad-oriented trio set ... Albany, whose career (especially on records) did not really get going until his final decade, is in generally good form ... The album concludes with a brief interview that sums up some aspects of his episodic life".[3]
