Reception

The Allmusic review calls it "One of Eddie Harris's more underrated sessions... The only real fault to this enjoyable set is that the playing time is under 27 minutes". The record was arranged by another Chicago musician, Charles Stepney, who was mainly associated with Chess Records as a staff writer, arranger and producer at the time. Atlantic's Joel Dorn produced the set.
