Billboard in 1955 wrote: "Ferguson plays a cleaner, more purposeful host than has generally been true in the past, in which ideas go volleying back and forth between him and saxophonist Bud Shank, Bob Cooper and Bob Gordon." [3] AllMusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "Although not essential, the bop-oriented music is well-played and gives one a good taste of early Ferguson". [2]
