The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Arnett Cobb, a tenor from the 1940s who fused together some of the most exciting aspects of swing and early R&B, is in typically exuberant form on this quartet set ... Cobb is warm on the ballads but the stomps are what make this record most memorable".[3]
