Reception
The Allmusic site awarded the album 4 stars, with reviewer Dave Nathan stating, "For his first recording session for Capitol, jazz blues pianist Junior Mance abandoned his usual small-group format for a big-band recording. Mance is joined by some of the cream of the West Coast studio and jazz players for a session that features Mance doing his blues thing on piano while the band swings at various tempi ranging from high moderate paces to high-energy romping. There are no reeds, so the sound is brighter and edgier than usual, but never shrill, resembling somewhat the style of the Count Basie Orchestra. ... his work and the ensemble playing are outstanding and, despite the parsimonious time allowance, the album is recommended".
