All the Cats Join In

Curiously, Goodman recorded this song three times. The first-released version, released after the ASCAP boycott of 1944–1948, followed a version which was only put out later.{{cite web |url=http://secondhandsongs.com/performance/192465 |title=Second Hand Songs: copyright 2013-2020| accessdate=September 12, 2020}}

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Everyone plays at least up to their usual high level and the riffing behind some of the solos really generates a lot of excitement".{{AllMusic|first=Scott |last=Yanow |class=album |id=mw0000898967 |title=All the Cats Join In – Review |accessdate=June 28, 2017}}
