Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "Cornetist Nat Adderley was at the peak of his powers in the mid-1960s... making this set one to search for".Yanow, S. [{{AllMusic|class=album|id=r134325|pure_url=yes}} Allmusic Review] accessed February 17, 2010 The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars stating "Hearing Nat in the presence of both Joe Henderson and Herbie Hancock provides ample reminder that his approach to hard bop and soul-jazz was one that very much stayed up with the times".{{cite book|last = Cook|first = Richard|author-link = Richard Cook (journalist)|author2 = Brian Morton|author-link2 = Brian Morton (Scottish writer)|title = The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings|orig-year = 1992|edition = 8th|series = The Penguin Guide to Jazz|year = 2006|publisher = Penguin|location = London|isbn = 978-0-141-02327-4|pages = [https://archive.org/details/penguinguidetoja00cook_1/page/11 11]|url-access = registration|url = https://archive.org/details/penguinguidetoja00cook_1/page/11}}
