Nate Chinen wrote in the New York Times: "The tenor saxophonist Houston Person and the bassist Ron Carter, jazz sages in their 70s, have recorded memorably as a duo before, more than a decade ago. So it’s no wonder that 'Just Between Friends' (HighNote) has the feel of a conversation, though the casual air masks an imposing amount of knowledge. Both musicians savor the setting: Mr. Person articulates melodies with a soft and murmuring lisp, while Mr. Carter fills the open space with his sound. Together they make this an easeful and beautiful record of a sort you don’t hear much anymore" ("Playlist," 4/27/08).
