Editorial Reviews ...Here are ballads played as ballads, and solos more remarkable for their spaciousness than their length. [While] Henderson's dark, smoky sound...evolves and expands to encompass the freer modes heard on subsequent discs...it sounds distinctive and anchored from the start... Musician (02/01/1994)
