Reception

Steve Leggett, in his review for AllMusic, stated: "Rouse headed up few sessions on his own as a bandleader, but as this calm, workmanlike set... clearly shows, he could rise to the occasion".

Jack Fuller of the Chicago Tribune commented: "In performance, Rouse`s musical taste was impeccable and his musical sophistication the match of Monk's."
