"Here's a driving high flying record from start to finish. It's jazz at its exciting best as Nelson's arranging conducting and zippy sax work lead real quality playing...".[4]
The Allmusic review by Douglas Payne awarded the album 2 stars stating:
"Oliver Nelson's live recordings don't seem as sharp as his studio stuff. Good playing, though, from a good group of West Coasters, but nothing exciting happens".[2]
