Reception [ ]
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings [4] The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide [3]
The Billboard review of the second volume in 1955 stated: "The first Roy–Diz set, provocative as it was, struck many as more of a 'cutting contest' than a collaboration. While the competitive element is not absent in this second set, here this acts as a mutual stimulant."[5] The AllMusic review awarded the album 3 stars.[2]
