Reception The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "the music is quite forgettable. Tyner plays well and with as much passion as usual but one can clearly sense that not all of the musicians were recording the music at the same time for they rarely react to each other's presence. One of the great pianist's weaker efforts".Yanow, S. . Retrieved February 27, 2009. Album is currently out of print in the US and is only available as an import on CD. "Senior Carlos" featuring Carlos Santana and "In Search Of My Heart" featuring Phyllis Hyman are considered to be the high points of an otherwise polarizing album.
