From Billboard - June 17, 1967: Even with a big band backing, the Ramsey Lewis Trio has an intimate sound. Selections are mostly film themes, although there's "Matchmaker" from "Fiddler." Lewis' work on piano is aces all the way. It's an imaginative album which should satisfy both jazz buffs and the easy listening set.
