AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated " the relatively brief set is the only recording that exists of Vinson, pianist Jay McShann, and guitarist T-Bone Walker playing together ... Vinson, whether singing ... or taking boppish alto solos, is the main star throughout this album, a date that helped launch Vinson's commercial comeback".[4]
