Reception
AllMusic's Richie Unterberger stated "Jennings shows off the bluesy tone that made him a favorite of B.B. King on his composition "Tough Gain" and the group-penned "Blue Jams", but aside from these, most of the tracks are slow-to-midtempo shuffles—edifying yet not exciting. On "Dark Eyes", Jennings varies the pace in a more arresting fashion than usual, playing sleepy lines with a crying tone to achieve a near slide-effect before the tempo abruptly doubles and the tune drops into a bop groove in its last half".[2] On All About Jazz, Derek Taylor said "Jennings’ maybe be a forgotten footnote today, but after listening to this disc it’s easy to imagine that he had his moment in the limelight shortly after these sessions hit the record shops".[4]
