The Penguin Guide to Jazz[2]
AllMusic[3]

in the Penguin Guide to Jazz is this writeup: "Genus and Drummond do a marvellous job ... and the two horns are well synchronised and brightly registered".[2] In his review for AllMusic, Ron Wynn stated, "Adderley has evidently found a soul mate in alto saxophonist Vince Herring, with whom he works once more on this 1990 date. Herring's voice has grown more impressive with each release, and he now offers more than just dazzling lines and phrases; he's constructing and completing confident statements."[3]
