The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said "the entire date has an energetic but familiar feel".[3] The Allmusic review stated "Trombonist Al Grey, a master of the wah-wah mute, had a rare opportunity to record with a major label in 1976. But Columbia almost lost the master, and when it was finally released in 1983, one of the principals (tenor saxophonist Jimmy Forrest) had already died. Despite its delayed arrival, this upbeat set (dominated by soulful blues but also including two standards) was worth the wait".[2]

gollark: I see. So you won't ACTUALLY have time travel. Sad!
gollark: Guess what people might send in future and send that? Randomly generate stuff in the past and force people to schedule it for the past later?
gollark: How are you doing the time travel one? I wanted to implement that, but I seem to lack a time machine.
gollark: So what does the "kind of" mean?
gollark: I see.
