==Reception==
The [[Allmusic]] review stated "The two tenors always brought out the best in each other, and luckily, they would get back together in the early '70s. This is high-quality bebop".<ref name="Allmusic">Yanow, S. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/well-be-together-again-mw0000279312 Allmusic Review] accessed December 10, 2012</ref>
