The Bay State Banner wrote: "Philly Joe, still a brilliant soloist, is content on this one to set the tempos, add supporting rhythms and fuel the show. The mood is relaxed and the top playing on the piece belongs to Dexter Gordon—who also seems to exert more effort and energy away from his home base (Columbia)—and to Nat Adderly, who has been recording more often and showing more ability on cornet."[7]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "For this Galaxy LP drummer Philly Joe Jones leads a variety of all-stars... Overall, everyone plays well on this modern hard bop set".[5]
