The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Unlike on his previous Old Bottles - New Wine recording, trombonist Ray Anderson's high-note technique gets the better of him on this set. He often comes across as a one-line Las Vegas comedian who constantly exclaims, "Look how high I can play!" ... this has to be considered one of Anderson's lesser efforts".[3]
