AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Scott Yanow stating, "Baritonist Gerry Mulligan has had few opportunities to record with a big band since his Concert Jazz Band broke up in 1963, a real pity considering how talented a composer and arranger he has been. This DRG release features a strong orchestra performing several of Jeru's compositions". [4]
