Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars and reviewer Scott Yanow stated, "This set features the tenor-saxophonist with Count Basie sidemen both past and present ... Quinichette might have been derivative but he always showed enthusiasm and skill in being creative within the Lester Young approach and this is a fine and formerly obscure effort".[3] On All About Jazz, Nic Jones wrote "Quinichette's allegiance to all things Basie cannot be denied".[4]
