More Monk was released by Soul Note in 1991. The Penguin Guide to Jazz suggested that the album was more accessible than Only Monk, an earlier solo Lacy album of Monk compositions, and most of the material was more commonly played. More Monk was also released in 2011 as part of the 6-CD Solos Duos Trios: The Complete Remastered Recordings on Soul Note.
