Reception
AllMusic rated the album with 4 stars; in his review, Scott Yanow said: "In the 1960s the Jazz Crusaders managed to be both accessible and creative, funky and swinging, traditional (with the influence of R&B and gospel) yet modern; no wonder the group was so popular in the jazz world".[3]
