Scott Yanow of Allmusic stated that "this particular version of The Jazz Messengers only had the opportunity to record this one excellent live LP (which is currently out of print) but proved to be a worthy successor to their more acclaimed predecessors".[5]
All compositions are by Chuck Mangione except where noted.
