The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "Adams led this date with his usual no-nonsense authority ... A solid jazz record".[5]
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek states "This is one of those must-own recordings for fans of Adams; but it is also for those who revere Mingus' work, because, as radical as some of these interpretations are, they were not only sanctioned by, but delighted in by the composer".[6]
