Scott Yanow of AllMusic reviewed the album, stating "Draper had ambitious dreams of making the tuba a major jazz solo instrument; the tuba/tenor front line is an unusual and generally successful sound... One does admire Draper's courage, and it is a pity that he hardly recorded at all after 1960 because he had strong potential".[2] The All About Jazz review by Douglas Payne stated "Even though Draper's career fizzled after only a few more records, this one is probably the best thing he did on his own".[4]

gollark: If elected as supreme world dictator, I will eliminate parenting and family values, recursively bisect the planet into different regions for A/B testing, replace democratic processes with a random number generator on my phone, and replace all spokespeople with GPT-n.
gollark: We should replace all politicians with me (as supreme world dictator).
gollark: It actually worked quite well, even on memes, apart from being bad at letter/word spacing.
gollark: I used some seemingly-Chinese "PaddleOCR" thing a while ago after eventually managing to export the models to ONNX so I could actually run them.
