The Allmusic review by Ron Wynn states "Pepper Adams ranked among modern jazz's finest baritone saxophonists. His mastery of the middle and lower registers and technical acumen enabled him to play the physically cumbersome baritone with a speed, facility, and style usually restricted to smaller horns. This '57 quintet date featured him in a more relaxed context with West Coast jazz types".[4] The Penguin Guide to Jazz described the album as "unusually relaxed".[5]
