Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states, "A fine obscurity recorded at a time when Nat was one of the stars of his brother Cannonball Adderley's Sextet". The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "it's hard to understand why such a quiet gem has slipped through the net".
