At AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote that "the results of this 1958 session are relaxed rather than explosive. Carter and Hines explore a dozen tunes with respect and light swing, but one wishes that there were a bit more competitiveness to replace some of the mutual respect". [3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented, "The rhythm section was one of the best money could buy at the time", but that the album was "generally pretty bland". [4]
