Allmusic[3]

The Allmusic review called it "well played post-bop music" and states "Virtually all of Sam Jones' occasional dates as a leader featured him in a purely supportive role with a medium-size all-star group. This set is a bit different, for Jones is often in the forefront, heading a trio".[3]
