Allmusic |     [3] |
The Allmusic site awarded the album 3 stars stating "The music is fairly typical for a Hodges date, with four Ellington standards, some blues and some basic originals. In a few spots, the organists really do a good job of filling in for the Ellington Orchestra. Tasty and swinging music".[3]
