AllMusic[4]

AllMusic reviewer Bill Dahl stated: "Sykes's lyrical images are as vivid and amusing as ever on this 1960 set, with titles like "Set the Meat Outdoors" and "Hangover" among its standouts. Other than drummer Jump Jackson, the quartet behind the pianist is pretty obscure, but they rock his boogies with a vengeance".[4]

gollark: Finally teradollars are a useful unit.
gollark: I'm sure there are *some* people.
gollark: You seem to have forgotten to finish that, but both as options probably. That's not really the question though.
