Scott Yanow of Allmusic says, "Cannonball Adderley supervised the session, putting the spotlight on the competitive horns who really battle it out".[5] On All About Jazz, David Rickert wrote: "Neither Clay's or Newman's work apart from one another is anything to write home about, yet when paired together they managed to create an album that holds its own with the more consistent work of their peers".[6]
