Reception

The Allmusic review by Brandon Burke awarded the album 3 stars, stating "One probably doesn't hear the name Gloria Coleman thrown around quite as often as other organists of the day. Similarly, the Impulse! label wasn't particularly known as a home for organ combos, but perhaps that's what makes this title the underappreciated gem that it is". [2]
