Background

In the liner notes, jazz critic Leonard Feather comments that the album has a relaxed feel, similar to what the listener might experience at a live performance, "... if you happened to drop in one night at Basin Street or the bohemia and found Jutta Hipp sitting in with Zoot's combo." [2]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow and Thom Jurek  [ de ] states, "as a whole, this recording is so wonderfully executed, one has to wonder why Hipp simply dropped out of the jazz world." [3]
