AllMusic | [3] |
"Prelude to a Kiss" won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Solo in 1995.[4] AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Benny Carter, 87 at the time of this recording, could pass musically for 57. His alto playing is as flawless as ever but 79-year-old trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison very much sounds his age and falters constantly throughout the date ... Edison and the so-so material cause this session to fall far short of its potential".[3]
