AllMusic[3]

Scott Yanow of AllMusic states, "One of tenor saxophonist Budd Johnson's best showcases, Let's Swing! finds him featured in a quintet ... Throughout, Johnson sounds both modern, as if he had come of age as one of the "cool school," and timeless, since he was a major player by the mid-'30s. A fine set".[3]
