“This is an album of real beauty and synergy between Green and pianist Sonny Clark, who along with Sam Jones on bass and Louis Hayes on drums rounds out the quartet. Green, an expert with standards, offers ‘Moon River’, ‘What Is This Thing Called Love?’, and ‘On Green Dolphin Street’.” – ****1/2 Michael Erlewine, All Music
