The Guardian
Hutcherson, a harmonically sophisticated and intense performer, can rarely have played betterand Hancock is as significant an ensemble player as he is a soloist. […]

Bristol Jazz Crew
The third piece though raises the bar. Hancock’s classic ‘Theme From Blow-Up’ is given perhaps the most straight jazz reading that he was ever involved in, with some stellar complementing between Hancock and Hutchersonand the only real downside being that it highlights just how much stronger the pianists compositions are than that of the bandleaders.

All About Jazz
Probably because ill-health forced producer Alfred Lion to retire from Blue Note later in ’67, Oblique had to wait until ’80 to see its first releaseand it remains less widely celebrated than its enjoyable, but by no means as exciting predecessor. […]
