Review from AllMusic (by Scott Yanow):
The first recording by the Dave Pell octet since the early 1960s finds the veteran tenor saxophonist (who had been working in the interim as a producer and a studio musician) using a completely different personnel than in the early days. Pell and his Los Angeles group (trumpeter Bill Berry, trombonist Bill Watrous, baritonist Med Flory, guitarist Tony Rizzi, pianist Bob Florence, bassist Buddy Clark, and drummer Frank Capp) are featured mostly on updated arrangements. The classic cool jazz sound is revived throughout this CD which includes such numbers as "Tishomingo Blues," "Can't We Be Friends," "There'll Be Some Changes Made," and "Mountain Greenery." The charts were provided by Marty Paich, John Williams, Bob Florence, Shorty Rogers, and Bill Holman. Fortunately Dave Pell has since been working on a regular basis with a new version of his octet; this CD was the start.

Reseña de AllMusic (por Scott Yanow):
La primera grabación del octeto de Dave Pell desde principios de la década de 1960 encuentra al veterano saxofonista tenor (que había estado trabajando en el ínterin como productor y músico de estudio) usando un personal completamente diferente al de los primeros días. Pell y su grupo de Los Ángeles (el trompetista Bill Berry, el trombonista Bill Watrous, el baritonista Med Flory, el guitarrista Tony Rizzi, el pianista Bob Florence, el bajista Buddy Clark y el baterista Frank Capp) aparecen principalmente en arreglos actualizados. El sonido clásico del cool jazz se revive a lo largo de este CD que incluye números como "Tishomingo Blues", "Can't We Be Friends", "There'll Be Some Changes Made" y "Mountain Greenery". Los arreglos fueron proporcionados por Marty Paich, John Williams, Bob Florence, Shorty Rogers y Bill Holman. Afortunadamente, Dave Pell ha estado trabajando desde entonces de manera regular con una nueva versión de su octeto; este CD fue el comienzo.
