At Allmusic, Scott Yanow wrote, "but the results of this 1958 session are relaxed rather than explosive. Carter and Hines explore a dozen tunes with respect and light swing, but one wishes that there were a bit more competitiveness to replace some of the mutual respect".[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented that "The rhythm section was one of the best money could buy at the time", but that the album was "generally pretty bland".[4]
