The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide[3]

The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said "the entire date has an energetic but familiar feel".[3] The Allmusic review stated "Trombonist Al Grey, a master of the wah-wah mute, had a rare opportunity to record with a major label in 1976. But Columbia almost lost the master, and when it was finally released in 1983, one of the principals (tenor saxophonist Jimmy Forrest) had already died. Despite its delayed arrival, this upbeat set (dominated by soulful blues but also including two standards) was worth the wait".[2]
