Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "Cornetist Nat Adderley was at the peak of his powers in the mid-1960's... making this set one to search for".[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars stating "Hearing Nat in the prescence of both Joe Henderson and Herbie Hancock provides ample reminder that his approach to hard bop and soul-jazz was one that very much stayed up with the times".[3]
