4 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE - 3 1/2 STARS PENGUIN GUIDE TO JAZZ
In the rather intimate setting of Round and Round, altoist Greg Osby and pianist Marc Copland perform eight often-melancholy and thoughtful originals plus the standard "Easy Living." Osby's fresh improvising style is mellower and more lyrical in this format than usual but still quite advanced. Copland creates a floor for Osby that is secure if not overly safe and challenges the altoist." Scott Yanow
