Reception[]
The Allmusic review by Steve Leggett awarded the album 4 stars, stating
"It's fairly typical Smith, who careens, bolts, stutters, glides, and flashes notes all over the place at a frequently breathless pace, doing what he always does, which is being Jimmy Smith at the organ. That's what you want, and that's what you get here".[2]
