In a review for Allmusic, music critic Ken Dryden wrote: "The guitarist and his brothers are in great form throughout the session in spite of the less-than-ideal piano provided. The highlight of the evening in the studio is a foot-tapping version of Carl Perkins' 'Groove Yard,' followed closely by a wild ride through Harold Land's 'Delirium.'... Like most of Wes Montgomery's Riverside recordings, this release is an essential part of his discography and is highly recommended."[1]
