In 2005, The Gazette wrote that, "with American trombone giant Roswell Rudd, whose wizardry connects New Orleans with the 'new thing', the two play elastic lines as if one."[4]

The AllMusic review by Brian Olewnick stated: "Recordings like this one are fine introductions to this underappreciated trumpeter's work."[2]
