AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars, noting that "the magic is in the performances, so to speak with Jacquet, Roy Eldridge, Jo Jones, Herb Ellis, Jimmy Jones and Ray Brown in the party... This is essential Jacquet."[4]

gollark: Much snappier.
gollark: I think Dragon sounds better than Turtlegistics myself.
gollark: What?
gollark: It has nicer features and some worse ones: bugginess, WIP autocrafting (mostly works, though), pluggableish backends (so you could theoretically implement "send over drone" as a storage backend), introspection module support (items direct to inventory), no GUI (unless <@307926450059870208> got that sorted), and a cooler name.
gollark: It's my client/server storage solution.
