Allmusic | [2] |
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Although originally associated with Woody Herman and cool jazz, Cohn always felt equally comfortable playing with swing-styled players. His "Natural Seven" looks toward the Kansas City Seven and includes two members of Count Basie's band".[2]
