It is widely known that Jimmy Smith's instrument of choice was the Hammond organ. A Hammond organ is an electric organ, but not an electronic organ. All electronic organs are electric organs; however the Hammond organ is an electromechanical organ, which uses tonewheels for producing sound |

Allmusic awarded the album four and a half stars, with reviewer Scott Yanow writing that it was "...ironic that one of Jimmy Smith's best Verve releases would be his next-to-last for the label." Yanow also commented that it was a "surprisingly freewheeling but relaxed jam session" and "Fine straight-ahead music."[1]
