AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "All 11 of the songs are somewhat obscure and therefore fresh Carter compositions and Dizzy Gillespie sits in with the group for three songs. ... the solo star throughout is the ageless Benny Carter, who at the age of 80 still seemed to be improving".[3]

gollark: It looks like my assembler will have to implicitly generate memory locations containing all the "immediate operands" and backfill them later, fun!
gollark: Label resolution failed to consider this.
gollark: I made a great decision to include no way whatsoever to specify immediate parameters, and every single operand is just an arbitrary memory location.
gollark: Ah. Yes. The issue is that I don't actually understand my own instruction set whatsoever.
