Scott Yanow stated "Despite the exotic location, this LP contains a typical Xanadu high-quality bebop date. The quintet performs five standards in Senegal (this may very well be the first live recording of American jazz musicians in Africa) and the crowd is rightfully enthusiastic. Even if the music contains few surprises, this album is easily recommended to bop collectors".[4]
