| DownBeat | [5] |
AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars stating "Newman and his friends swing their way through four vintage standards and a couple of the leader's original blues in typical fashion".[3]
John A Tynan gave the release 4 stars in his DownBeat review.[5] Tynan called the album "an object lesson in relaxed and intelligent blowing. All the elements fit—compatible musicians, familiar material, assertedly congenial atmosphere — and are doweled together into a deceptively simple and always swinging whole . . . This get-together grooves all the way, coming in and going out swinging".[5]
