Reception
{{Album ratings

}}
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "although few fireworks occur (the two brassmen mostly sound pretty complementary and mellow), the music is tasteful, enjoyable advanced hard bop".{{AllMusic|first=Scott |last=Yanow |class=album |id=mw0000118776 |title= Art Farmer: The Company I Keep – Review |accessdate=May 14, 2018}}
