Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "The music (two standards and four originals) is essentially straightahead bop and generally swings quite hard."
The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes "There are atonal and polytonal episodes on Nicky's Tune" and describes his Delmark albums as "two powerful records by an almost forgotten figure."
