The Allmusic review by Ken Dryden states: "Chico Hamilton's pianoless chamber jazz recordings for Pacific Jazz between 1955 and 1959 are important landmarks, but the discovery of this long-lost date adds to his many achievements. Highly recommended".^[1] In JazzTimes, Harvey Pekar wrote "The principal importance of the disc is Dolphy's appearance. Aside from some work he did on Roy Porter big band selections cut in 1949, this is his initial appearance on record... Dolphy's improvising is excellent but, except on "It Don't Mean a Thing," restrained, which is not surprising, since Hamilton had a chamber-jazz group... overall, the arrangements here are by and large pallid".^[2]
