| AllMusic |   [3] |
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "It is extremely difficult to believe that Benny Carter was 82 years old at the time of this recording, for his strong sound (nothing feeble about his playing) and fertile ideas on alto make him sound as if he were a contemporary of Phil Woods, who was born 24 years later. Together Carter and Woods form a mutual-admiration society ... A special and relaxed but occasionally hard-swinging date, this Music Masters CD is quite enjoyable".[3]
