The review by Allmusic's Scott Yanow said: "Altoist Frank Morgan explores his bebop roots on this infectious set ... Morgan pays tribute to Bird, yet does not copy him (although he has the ability to sometimes sound very similar to Parker). This spontaneous session has its subtle surprises and is often hard-swinging. Recommended".[4]
