The editors of AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars, and reviewer Bruce Eder called it "one of the most diversely textured and wide-ranging of all Chico Hamilton albums," as well as "a fine showcase" for Hamilton "as a triple-threat artist: drummer extraordinaire..., vocalist..., and, of course, leader."[4]
A writer for Billboard called the recording "a versatile album with jockey appeal," and wrote: "In addition to his flashy virtuosity as a drummer on this LP, Hamilton displays an interesting vocal talent... his quintet... swings effectively."[7]
