Reception
Jazz critic Harvey Pekar had this to say in his May 23, 1963 review for Down Beat magazine: "Though not an innovator, the leader is a respectable musician. His style is an amalgam of many sources..."
The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "records like this go a long way in proving that Wilkerson was one of the great underrated saxophonists of his time".
