Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars stating "His sometimes-brooding style was already quite recognizable and his inventive use of repetition was quite impressive. This recording gives listeners a definitive look at the early style of Mal Waldron".Yanow, S. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/mal4-trio-r149614 AllMusic Review] accessed February 21, 2011
