AllMusic[5]

AllMusic awarded Vitro's debut LP three stars out of a possible 5, with reviewer Alex Henderson describing it as both "enjoyable and historically important," noting the "considerable promise" exhibited by the young Vitro, both "as a scat singer and [an] interpreter of lyrics." In addition, Henderson cited the "hard-swinging accompaniment [of] pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Buster Williams, drummer Ben Riley and the late Texas tenor sax hero Arnett Cobb."[5]
