Critical reception
Template:Music ratings AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated, "Tenor saxophonist Ben Webster and trumpeter Harry 'Sweets' Edison, both veterans of the swing era (although associated with different orchestras), had long wanted to record a full album together. The results, a swinging quintet set with pianist Hank Jones, bassist George Duvivier, and drummer Clarence Johnston, are quite rewarding... Nothing unexpected occurs but the melodic music is quite enjoyable".[3]
