AllMusic | [2] |
The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings | [3] |
The AllMusic review awarded the album 4½ stars. [2]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings called the album "near-perfect Jackson fare," and wrote: "The others mostly keep out of his way and let him blow, although Lucky Thompson is on the final three tracks and in excellent fettle." [3]
Jazz Journal's Derek Ansell stated that the album "makes me want to trot out the tired old cliché – they don't make 'em like this anymore. The trouble is it's true, they really don't." [4]
A reviewer for Billboard commented: "The fans should heartily welcome this 'blowing' session... An excellent set that should sell well." [5]
Recorded in New York City on January 17 (tracks 6, 8 & 9) and January 21 (tracks 1, 3 & 5) and at the Van Gelder Studio in Hackensack, New Jersey on February 14 (tracks 2, 4 & 7), 1956
