The contemporaneous DownBeat reviewer believed that this was the best band that Hamilton had led, and concluded that the album was "by far the best album the drummer has recorded in terms of jazz spirit, exciting soloists, and, above all, deep-down swing".[3] The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "this would be the last album in Hamilton's famous string of cello groups before the drummer changed directions. Interesting if not essential music".[2]
