AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Jo Jones is probably best known for his work with Count Basie, but his small-group dates as a leader, though overlooked, are also very rewarding. ... The trio is effortlessly swinging ... this 1959 LP treats the musicians with the respect they deserve". [3] On All About Jazz, David Rickert wrote "The Jo Jones Trio, features his working unit of Ray Bryant and Tommy Bryant on a straightforward piano trio recording. Bryant utilizes a minimalist approach similar to Basie's, but the trio explores a wider terrain than the big band ever did". [4]
