5 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE:
Defying what has become conventional wisdom, tenor saxophonist Lester Young (when he was reasonably healthy) actually cut some of his greatest recordings in the 1950s. On this wonderful effort with pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer J.C. Heard, Prez performs definitive versions of ‘Just You, Just Me’ and ‘Tea for Two’, and plays a string of Mconcise but memorable ballad renditions: ‘On the Sunny Side of the Street’, ‘Almost Like Being in Love’, and ‘There Will Never Be Another You’. Essential music.” (Scott Yanow)
