The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars and stated 'Sonny Red, a fine altoist inspired by Charlie Parker and Jackie McLean, never really made it in jazz, and some of his recordings are rather uninspired. However, that does not hold true for his Blue Note album... He performs mostly little-known standards (along with six of his originals) and displays a fair amount of originality and a great deal of potential that was never really fulfilled. Recommended'.[2]

Long out of print vinyl, the Oblique still had until recently a copy vinyl 'Around the Horn.' Through these four albums, Souled American We offer original compositions but also revisiting many classic country / folk. So, the latest album by Scott Tuma is intended as a response to the human quest in which he started in the mid 80s.
