AllMusic[3]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz[4]

AllMusic awarded the album 3 stars and its review by Ron Wynn states, "Trumpeter Maynard Ferguson leads his big band in a fiery date recorded in 1958... He was playing no-holds-barred, straight-ahead jazz at this time, and doing it with gusto".[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented that Ferguson's upper-register playing was executed exceptionally well, but suggested that the effect of this soon became boring.[4]
