AllMusic awarded the album with 3.5 stars and its review by Thom Jurek states : " This set marked a fitting return for the Breckers , who never let the fashionable tenets of the smooth jazz '90s totally appropriate their creativity or their sound " . At the 1993 Grammy Awards the album received three nominations : Best Contemporary Jazz Album , Best R&B Instrumental Performance ( " Big Idea " ) and Best Jazz Instrumental Solo ( Randy Brecker on " Above & Below " )
