Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "The enjoyable outing may not be essential, but it is a strong effort." Author and musician Peter Niklas Wilson called it "one of Rollins's most brilliant sessions. In the opinion of many of the saxophone player's fans it is the equal of the epochal Saxophone Colossus recordings."
