AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Although from different generations, tenor-saxophonist Zoot Sims and trumpeter Harry 'Sweets' Edison both always liked to swing, making their successful collaboration on this CD reissue not much of a surprise ... The results are predictable but colorful and inventive within the boundaries of the idiom".[5]
