Bill Holland, writing for Billboard, said "[w]alk up to a friend who likes...jazz", listed the personnel, then said "get ready for a major smile", and mentioned that "Davis plays Coleman Hawkins to Sims' Lester Young".[2]

Ken Dryden's AllMusic review says that the album "was an inspired idea, because each of the two tenor saxophonists approach the instrument differently...highly recommended." He calls the rhythm section "a great one...providing plenty of fuel for the featured soloists."[1]

gollark: Here's the collaborative asteroid base, which evolved into a horrible mess which somehow still held in air.
gollark: Yes, and 1.13 and up apparently had performance problems on servers, though I don't know how true that is.
