Critical reception

Jazz critic Scott Yanow noted that "there are plenty of heated moments on this bop set." [2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz described the young Baker as "a modestly accomplished bebopper," and described Criss as "distinctive." The guide noted the "marvellous tension" between Baker and Parker during their solos on "Donna Lee," while both critics described the session as "historic." [3] [2]
