Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars and stated "Although not as advanced as some of his Blue Note classics of the 1960s, McLean is in top form and quite explorative during these performances; his sound is certainly instantly recognizable".Yanow, S., [{{Allmusic|class=album|id=live-at-montmartre-mw0000647270|pure_url=yes}} Allmusic Review] accessed March 13, 2015
