Reception

The AllMusic review by Stephen Cook stated that "this 1938 incarnation of Ellington's group held their own with many fine compositions, a seamless sense of swing, and a wealth of unique solo contributions, elements that set the group apart throughout the big-band era. Maybe not as essential as other Ellington titles, but still highly recommended". [2]
