| AllMusic |   [3] |
Scott Yanow of AllMusic stated, "This underrated Chiaroscuro CD is a joy from start to finish. Flügelhornist Clark Terry is teamed with an unusually talented group of all-stars which is filled with distinctive and colorful swing stylists. The standards and riff tunes give all of the horn players solo space ... After 55 minutes of music Clark Terry is heard on the 19-minute "Jazzspeak," verbally telling informative stories about his lengthy career, some of which are quite humorous. Highly recommended". [3]
