The Allmusic review by Jim Todd stated: "Everyone's in good form on these two sessions from the mid-'50s. The earlier 1954 set, though, is the more interesting. It teams Modern Jazz Quartet alumni Kenny Clarke, Milt Jackson, and Percy Heath with West Coast beboppers ... The four tracks from the later 1955 date feature a familiar Savoy grouping of Count Basie band members ... Telefunken Blues is recommended for the set with Morgan, Benton, and Wiggins, although the session with the Count's men does offer several pleasures".[3]
