Reception
Allmusic's Scott Yanow gives the album four and a half stars and describes it as an "excellent straight-ahead quintet set" and "high-quality hard bop". The Penguin Guide to Jazz rates the album three and a half stars and describes Land as an "underrated composer with a deep feeling for the blues" and states that The Fox, "tricky and fugitive as much of it is, must be thought his finest moment".
