The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Overall this is an excellent outing for all concerned". [3] On All About Jazz, reviewer Marc Myers observed: "By 1955, Wilkins' charts had developed a knack for tightly wound swing and swagger, typically resulting in a polished shout chorus at the end. With Wilkins, every arrangement was an aerodynamic adventure, and he never relied on gimmicks or repeated phrases. His originals always sounded modern--the blues retrofitted with an automatic transmission and air conditioning ... For me, this is a perfect mid-1950s jazz album of seductive beauty crafted for a small group that thinks it's a big band". [4]
All compositions by Ernie Wilkins, except where indicated.
