Reception

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars stating "Baritonist Pepper Adams and tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims (who rarely performed together) make a surprisingly compatible team... The setting is more advanced than usual for Sims, who rises to the challenge".[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented that "Jones overdoes the bashing, and the uptempo pieces are a battle, but the horns don't falter at any point".[4]
