Scott Yanow at Allmusic noted "Ten years after his most recent set as a leader, Jimmy Heath (heard here on tenor and soprano) finally had another opportunity to lead an album of his own... A tasteful and swinging effort".Yanow, S., [http://www.allmusic.com/album/new-picture-mw0000199411 Allmusic Review] accessed April 16, 2014
