The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "Jones comping is inch-perfect throughout and Clarke is right on the case, often following Adderley outside the basic count for a phrase or two".{{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 on CD, LP & Cassette|edition = 2nd|series = The Penguin Guide to Jazz|year = 1994|publisher = Penguin|location = London|isbn = 0-14-017949-6|pages = 12}} The Allmusic review stated "His pithy, pungent trumpet and cornet work is effective in a hard bop context, although his own work outside his brother's group has never seemed quite as effective".{{AllMusic|first=Ron |last=Wynn |class=album |id= mw0000092431 |title=That's Nat – Review |accessdate=June 28, 2017}}
