The contemporaneous DownBeat reviewer, Leonard Feather, praised the playing, while observing that there was little to distinguish the album from the large volume of other LPs by Hammond players.[4] The AllMusic review stated "it's superior early organ jazz, full-sounding but streamlined owing to the trio format".[3]
