Reception
Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "Not to be confused with the earlier Art Blakey Blue Note album with the same name, this studio date recorded in Japan has languished somewhat in obscurity, perhaps because it revisits three songs well established by earlier and better known editions of the Jazz Messengers. Clocking in at just under 35 minutes, it's a little brief for a CD, but the music is first rate... Although it can't be considered an essential Blakey CD, this now unavailable release is worth acquiring by fans of hard bop".
