The
Allmusic review by
Scott Yanow stated "The most memorable soloists are the rambunctious
Trummy Young, the harmonically advanced chordings of
Jimmy Jones and an exuberant
Woody Herman who was rarely heard in this type of
jam session setting. With Clayton having worked out some ensemble riffs for the horns beforehand and plenty of space left for spontaneity, this music has plenty of magic". ==Track listing==
