Critical reception
Scott Yanow of AllMusic states: "The 'Jamal sound,' with its expert use of dynamics, close interplay, space and subtle surprises was very much in place, and this out-of-print set is on the same level as his better-known hits to come."Yanow, Scott, Count 'Em 88 Review, AllMusic. Retrieved May 24, 2012.
