Reception

At Allmusic, Michael G. Nastos called the group "one of the more potent combos of 1954."[3] Author and musician Peter Niklas Wilson called the album "simply a typical blowing session, in which virtuoso up-tempo playing and a wealth of invention in a well-known framework count for more than structural innovation".[4]
