AllMusic reviewer Tim Sendra stated: "While this record may have seemed like the beginning of a great solo career for Joe Newman, in fact it was his final session for a major label as a leader... It isn't an essential purchase for the casual jazz fan but Newman fans (and fans of great trumpeters) will be thrilled by its appearance". [5]
