The Bay State Banner wrote that "Vinson can play jump blues or swing with anyone, and his technique proves excellence is not confined only to the intricate or the avant-garde."[5]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "What makes this album different from many of Eddie 'Cleanhead' Vinson's is that four of the seven selections are taken as instrumentals. Vinson's alto playing has long been underrated due to his popularity as a blues singer, so this release gives one the opportunity to hear his bop-influenced solos at greater length. With the assistance of a strong rhythm section ... Vinson is in excellent form throughout this enjoyable set".[3]
