Allmusic[3]

Allmusic reviewer by Richard S. Ginell said "After Desmond's death in May 1977, bassist Don Thompson went through the rejected tapes of the live sessions he, Desmond, guitarist Ed Bickert, and drummer Jerry Fuller had made in Toronto for the album The Paul Desmond Quartet Live and came up with an extra LP of fresh material. The results came out not on A&M/Horizon but on producer John Snyder's tiny Artists House label, so this will be hard to find. But when you do find it, you'll hear Desmond in nearly peak form".[3]
