Reception
Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Ronnie D. Lankford Jr. stating, "the quartet recordings on Last From Lennie's are bursting with creative energy... Like all good vault releases, Last From Lennie's reminds listeners of just how good Byard and his bandmates were".[ 2] All About Jazz website stated "The pace never slows over the album's 62 minute length.
