DownBeat critic Harvey Pekar commented in his February 28, 1963, review: "generally fine solo work and several admirable Hefti scores plus Basie's inevitably strong rhythm section – all of which adds up to a very good album."[5] AllMusic reviewer Michael G. Nastos described the album as "A solid and worthwhile album that has been out of print for far too long, this will be a welcome addition to any Basie lover's collection, and comes highly recommended to anyone even mildly interested in excellent large-ensemble mainstream jazz".[4]
