Reception

The Allmusic review by Al Campbell awarded the album 4 stars and states "Cannonball Adderley's mega-successful album Mercy, Mercy, Mercy!, released in August of 1966, was supposedly recorded "live" at a venue in Chicago called The Club, but it was actually recorded in the studio of Capitol Records with a specially assembled audience. For those who wonder what they really sounded like at that venue, Money in the Pocket contains unreleased live recordings of the Cannonball Adderley Quintet at The Club in Chicago... Any Cannonball Adderley fan will want to own this". The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars stating "The sound is rather noisy (especially McCurdy's drums), but if anything this is a warmer set than the 'official' one from later in the year. "Stardust" is a vintage Cannon performance, and "Fiddler on the Roof", all but takes the roof off".
