Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states, "Cornetist Nat Adderley was at the peak of his powers in the mid-1960s... making this set one to search for". The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars, stating, "Hearing Nat in the presence of both Joe Henderson and Herbie Hancock provides ample reminder that his approach to hard bop and soul-jazz was one that very much stayed up with the times".
