Reception

AllMusic awarded the album 3½ stars stating "While this record may have seemed like the beginning of a great solo career for Joe Newman, in fact it was his final session for a major label as a leader... It isn't an essential purchase for the casual jazz fan but Newman fans (and fans of great trumpeters) will be thrilled by its appearance".
