The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "During a two-day period in 1978, Muse Records fully documented a jam session featuring the tenors of Arnett Cobb and Buddy Tate, altoist Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, pianist Ray Bryant, bassist George Duvivier and drummer Alan Dawson. Six records resulted, two apiece headed by the three saxophonists. ... All of the sets in this rewarding series are recommended to straightahead and mainstream jazz fans.".^[4]
