Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars and reviewer Scott Yanow stated, "This set features the tenor-saxophonist with Count Basie sidemen both past and present ... Quinichette might have been derivative but he always showed enthusiasm and skill in being creative within the Lester Young approach and this is a fine and formerly obscure effort".[3] On All About Jazz, Nic Jones wrote "Quinichette's allegiance to all things Basie cannot be denied".[4]

Personnel

gollark: (Sidenote: interestingly, apparently the development of farming actually led to significantly *worse* life for people for quite a long time, because it allowed much more population per land area, causing people to end up at a subsistence level and quite malnourished and stuff)
gollark: Modern supply chains are complex, and while we could not have those you would then lose out on stuff like microelectronics, medical things, and the economies of scale meaning you can have nice things cheaply.
gollark: How is that better? We need widescale coordination to do anything.
gollark: It's *great* if you like dying of otherwise preventable diseases, after a life basically free of any modern amenities consisting of... hunter-gathering, or whatever people did.
gollark: * carcinize
