Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars and reviewer Scott Yanow stated, "the sextet jams on five Basie-associated tunes from the 1930s and 40s, none of which are exactly overplayed ... Each of the songs serves as a strong vehicle for swing-oriented solos and the musicians sound quite inspired. Recommended".[2] In JazzTimes, Stanley Dance wrote "Paul Quinichette was not styled the Vice-Pres for nothing. Of all the tenor players Lester Young inspired, he passed on the message the most faithfully. He was too often dismissed as an imitator, but Young’s language seemed to be natural to him, so that his flow was not broken up by the fashionable ejaculations necessary to others. The program of Basie hits perhaps imposed limitations of another kind".[4]
