The Penguin Guide to Jazz[7]

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "The blend between baritone and trombone is quite effective, the musicians all take consistently excellent solos and the music is state-of-the-art 1958 modern mainstream jazz".[6] The Penguin Guide to Jazz described the pairing as producing "a similar blend to that on Cool Sound, but with more expressive resonance and mobility".[7]
