Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "The popular Three Sounds perform mostly standards on the album, infusing their swinging music with funk, soul, and sincere feeling". The All About Jazz review by Douglas Payne stated: "Harris, aided by smooth, sympathetic bassist Andy Simpkins and subtle drummer Bill Dowdy, are in top form here, like a hip hotel lounge band with a wicked sense of the blues. Harris plumbs his specialty throughout, wresting the blues out of even the most mundane of tunes". | rev1 = Allmusic | rev1Score =
