Critical reception
Billboard reviewed the album in its issue from December 29, 1956, writing: "This is good Ellington, altho the major excitement engendered by the band is contained in CL 934. The Clayton set, which features Coleman Hawkins along with Dick Katz, J. J. Johnson, etc., should appeal immediately to the many buyers of the previously released Clayton jam sets."[2]
