Background In the liner notes, jazz critic Leonard Feather comments that the album has a relaxed feel, similar to what the listener might experience at a live performance, "... if you happened to drop in one night at Basin Street or the bohemia and found Jutta Hipp sitting in with Zoot's combo."
Reception The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow and states, "as a whole, this recording is so wonderfully executed, one has to wonder why Hipp simply dropped out of the jazz world."Yanow, S. & Jurek, T. Allmusic Review accessed January 7, 2011
