Allmusic     [3]

The Allmusic review by Stephen Cook stated: "The quartet effortlessly works through six cuts ... While Wilder takes quality solos throughout, especially on the slower cuts, Jones matches him track for track with his own elegantly swinging and thoughtful statements. One of the best of the trumpeter's early dates".[3]
