Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow rated the album 4 of 5 stars, stating, "The main reason to search for this out-of-print LP is for the playing of the great, if short-lived, trumpeter Booker Little who was the first on his instrument to emerge from the shadow of Clifford Brown and start to develop his own voice... The quintet performs six consistently enjoyable and hard-swinging numbers."
