Reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [ 4]
Allmusic awarded the album 2 stars and the review by Dave Nathan stated: "These arrangements could be heard in a hundred lounges and small clubs throughout the country during the years when this album was made. While there is virtually no inventiveness going on, the playing is entertaining. One quality that comes through with the Wayne guitar is its hornlike sound, which adds a dimension to his playing and is especially complementary when either Sims or Moore is soloing ... Several of the players at these sessions were from the upper echelons of jazz; it's regrettable they were not offered more interesting or challenging music to perform".[ 4]
