Background
In the liner notes, jazz critic Leonard Feather comments that the album has a relaxed feel, similar to what the listener might experience at a live performance, "... if you happened to drop in one night at Basin Street or the bohemia and found Jutta Hipp sitting in with Zoot's combo."{{cite web |title=Jutta Hipp; Zoot Sims, Jutta Hipp With Zoot Sims in High-Resolution Audio § Editor's notes |url=https://www.prostudiomasters.com/album/page/37961 |publisher=ProStudioMasters.com |access-date=January 11, 2024}}
Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow and {{ill|Thom Jurek|de}} states, "as a whole, this recording is so wonderfully executed, one has to wonder why Hipp simply dropped out of the jazz world."Yanow, S. & Jurek, T.
