In his review of the record, music critic Alfred Frankenstein specifically praises the horn playing of Vincent DeRosa, writing, "This is the most astonishing example of virtuosity on the horn I have ever heard on records...To play as lightly and speedily as a harpsichord, right out in the open with a minimum of support, is to give an incredible performance."[2]
