Reception [ ] Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [4] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings [5]
Allmusic noted "Having found his own voice through stints with Woody Herman and Stan Kenton , Rogers gets a chance to show his appreciation for one of his early influences, with charts that both reflect the supple bounce of Basie and the complexly cool sound the trumpeter had been forging since the late '40s".[4]
