Q (10/92, p.101) - 3 Stars - Good - "...unusually satisfying background music..."Musician (6/92, p.96) - "...everything you'd expect: stalking basslines, creaking Ralph Carney saxophones, the obligatory accordion, harmonium and Stinson band organ.

JazzTimes (3/96, p.105) - "...Webster...had achieved an essence of ballad playing. He ravished melodies with a combination of passion, power and tenderness that no tenor player, including John coltrane, Stan Getz and Zoot Sims, has equaled....these recordings of Webster...represent an ideal matching of musician and material..."Musician (11/95, p.93) - "...contains...Webster's long unavailable sessions with strings, as well as a strings album by...Harry Carney. Most of the arrangements are by Ralph Burns and Billy Strayhorn....some of the finest horn-backed-by-strings sessions ever recorded, featuring a felicitous pairing of melodically gifted soloists and arrangers..."0.3890777
