Reception edit

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "Many of vibraphonist Milt Jackson's Atlantic recordings are long overdue to appear on CD, and that certainly includes Bean Bags, which features a meeting with the great tenor Coleman Hawkins. Assisted by a top-notch quartet."[3]
