Reception
The AllMusic review by Jim Todd called it "an exuberant, well-recorded set" and stated: "There is generous solo space for all, with each tune getting a solid workout on this date that definitely manages to share with the listener the excitement generated by the quartet in Tokyo's Denen Coliseum."
