The review by Allmusic's Scott Yanow said: "Altoist Frank Morgan pays tribute to his bebop beginnings on this live set from the Village Vanguard ... The music often swings hard, and Morgan, although initially influenced strongly by Charlie Parker, sounds quite original, pushing at the tradition".[4]
