In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "David "Fathead" Newman is in excellent form on this tasteful program of 11 Duke Ellington compositions. ... The music contains few real surprises (other than the utilization of both bass and piccolo bass) but swings nicely and has fine melodic solos". [5]
All compositions by Duke Ellington except where noted
