Reception[]

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating "Although David Murray had already recorded a countless number of sessions as a leader by the late 1980s, Ming's Samba was his first on a large American label... A recommended release although this set will probably be difficult to find.".[1]
