Scott Yanow of AllMusic states, "Maynard Ferguson led his finest orchestra during his period with Roulette".[3] For the CD reissue (Roulette CDP 7939002), The Penguin Guide to Jazz praised the brighter sound of the CD and picked Ferguson's solo on the bonus track "Go East, Young Man" as a highlight.[4]
