Reception
Allmusic awarded the album 3½ stars stating "Mr. Bojangles pairs Sonny Stitt with arranger Don Sebesky for one of the smoothest and most mainstream-facing dates of the saxophonist's career. Sebesky's luminous treatments underscore the elegance of Stitt's soulful alto and tenor leads".Yanow, S. Allmusic Review, accessed January 8, 2013
