The Bay State Banner concluded: "Those who constantly cry about jazz's domination by the avant-garde should rush to hear Jackson. He blows rings around a horde of lesser talented but more highly publicized jazz-schlock tenors."[5]

In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow stated: "This is a particularly exciting release... The chord changes might be fairly basic but Willis Jackson plays with such enthusiasm and exuberance that it almost sounds as if he had discovered the joy of playing music".[3]
