Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album four stars, stating: "Burrell displays what was already an immediately recognizable tone. At 24, Burrell had quickly emerged to become one of the top bop guitarists of the era, and he is in particularly excellent form... Enjoyable music".[3]
