AllMusic[2]		4/5 stars

Penguin Guide to Jazz[3]		3.5/4 stars

This album, which sees the first version of The Jazz Messengers on record, was noted as not "match[ing] the intensity which the quintet secured at Birdland."[3]Tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, in particular, is noted as "a somewhat unfocused stylist."[3] However, trumpeter Kenny Dorham is seen as an "elusive brilliance [that] was seldom so extensively captured" and the playing in general "is just as absorbing" as the Birdland albums and is "still timeless music."[3][4]
