Allmusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated[5]

"This was the first album that tenor saxophonist Jimmy Forrest made after his R&B phase ended. Particularly notable is that the set served as the recording debut of guitarist Grant Green; completing the band are pianist Harold Mabern, bassist Gene Ramey and drummer Elvin Jones. ... The music is essentially melodic and blues-based hard bop that looks toward soul-jazz. Everyone sounds in fine form".
