Reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [ 3]
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "the boppish performances feature such soloists as altoist Lanny Morgan, the tenors of Willie Maiden and Don Menza and pianist Mike Abene. The arrangements took advantage of the band's many strengths and the result is a solid set of swinging music".[ 3]
