Allmusic[2]
The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide[3]

Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "This rather brief LP (just 31 minutes) finds tenorman Illinois Jacquet in typically fine form, but fronting a rather anonymous-sounding group (despite the presence of guitarist Kenny Burrell on some numbers)".[2]
