Background
Album cover
The album cover, designed by Reid Miles, uses an original photograph by Francis Wolff of Alfred Lion's wife, Ruth.[6] In 1991, Blue Note released a Christmas themed CD called Yule Struttin' with a cover derived from the sleeve design for this album.
Reception
The New York Times called Cool Struttin' an "enduring hard-bop classic".[10]
According to The Stereo Times, the album enjoys "a nearly cult status among hardcore jazz followers",[11] a reputation AllMusic asserts it deserves "for its soul appeal alone".[12]
