In his review on DownBeat, Jeff Potter stated "Throughout his sideman stints with notables such as James Moody, J. J. Johnson, Art Farmer and Eddie Harris, his tenure in the band TanaReid and his 10 previous discs as a leader, pianist Rob Schneiderman has shown a straightahead heart marked by lyricism and no-nonsense taste."[4]
