Allmusic[2]

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Scott Yanow stating, "Sonny Criss' Prestige recordings of the late 1960s generally included a current pop tune or two along with some stronger jazz pieces. This 1998 CD reissue is of particular interest because the intense altoist is teamed with guitarist Tal Farlow... So overall this CD is more rewarding than it might appear at first glance".[2]
