The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "If there were justice in the world, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson would have been able to tour with this type of group throughout much of his career. Roomful of Blues, a popular five-horn nonet, has rarely sounded more exciting than on this musical meeting with the legendary singer/altoist. Vinson himself is exuberant on some of the selections ... Whether one calls it blues, bebop, or early R&B, this accessible music is very enjoyable and deserves to be more widely heard".[3]
