"Spotlight Album of the Week ... should be a must for most modern jazz buyers ..."
- Billboard
"... stands out for Monk's strong comping behind John Coltrane ... Monk plays with restraint, never giving in to the urge to splash his perverse tendencies onto Coltrane's canvas.
- Jazz.com
"... among the grittiest (music) Monk or Coltrane ever recorded ... the performances are magisterial ... (Coltrane) was with Monk's encouragement discovering his signature, middle period style. The 'sheets of sound' which caused such controversy are there and so too are passages of feline, balladic elegance ... is given immutable cohesion by the empathy between its two, characterful featured artists, one at the top of his game, the other approaching his and, of course, Monk's die cast compositions."

When Monk and Trane spent six months of 1957 working together at New York's Five Spot Cafe, it was an historic event which certainly should have been exhaustively recorded. But non-musical conflicts made that impossible, leaving as the only permanent reminders of this momentous encounter the three remarkable quartet selections that highlight this album.
