Allmusic[5]

Allmusic's Scott Yanow said: "Heard with a nonet on three numbers, a quintet on two songs, and an 11-piece outfit during his "Skywalk," McGriff is in his usual fine form ... Outside of altoist Bill Easley and guitarist Jimmy Ponder, the sidemen are pretty obscure, although quite capable in this setting".[5]
