Writing in the Chicago Tribune about the 1991 reissue, Jack Fuller stated: "For me hard bop is like the blues that you find at its core. I can`t always listen to it with pleasure. It is never monotonous, no matter how closely it hews to the norm. And when it is energetic and smiling, as it is on this reissue of a 1962 release by tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan backed by pianist Cedar Walton, it can almost always lift my spirits, too".[4]Scott Yanow stated in his review for Allmusic: "It would be 1973 before Jordan had another opportunity to be showcased in a quartet format, making this formerly rare set one of his best all-around recordings".[3]
