Reception
{{Music ratings

}}
Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "this is a decent trio set... The relative lack of original material and the selection of several kinda corny standards to cover holds this back from the upper echelon of Holmes' recordings".Unterberger, R. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/living-soul-mw0000370405 Allmusic listing] accessed May 3, 2013
