In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "David "Fathead" Newman is in top form throughout this straight-ahead jazz set ... The music is mostly soulful hard bop and quite well played".[5] In JazzTimes, Miles Jordan noted "This lively group gets off to a swinging start on the title track ... Besides tenor, Newman also plays flute on two tunes ... As might be expected from a Texas tenorman, Newman’s flute playing is as robust as his other axe(s), which also includes alto sax,".[6]

gollark: I am not in any way selling or assisting in selling pizza and I DO NOT work for pizza companies in any form. This is NOT true. I have not in any way been sponsored by pizza companies. There have been no advertising agreements whatsoever with any companies producing pizza or otherwise to have me subliminally advertise pizza, as my profile picture is not a pizza. Since it is not a pizza, this is obviously not pizza advertisement whatsoever. No monetary exchanges or otherwise have occurred with companies engaged in pizza production for any reason relating to my profile picture. It's not pizza. There were no deals, under-the-table or otherwise, with pizza companies. No pizza companies pay for any kind of advertising involving me. I'm DEFINITELY not paid by pizza companies to do ANY pizza advertising or sales.
gollark: It is not pizza.
