Reception
{{Album ratings
| rev1 = Allmusic
}}
Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars noting "Most was actually the better known of the two flutists at the time but, while he ended up in the Los Angeles studios, Mann's constant musical curiosity would result in him gaining worldwide fame. Their enjoyable music finds the flutists battling it out to a draw".{{AllMusic|first=Scott |last=Yanow |class=album |id=mw0000108541 |title=The Herbie Mann-Sam Most Quintet – Review |accessdate=May 15, 2015}} On All About Jazz Robert Spencer stated "The Herbie Mann-Sam Most Quintet is a 1956 album of eleven genial, high-spirited tracks featuring Mann and Most trading bright, up-tempo, virtually saxophonic flute solos".Spencer, R., [http://www.allaboutjazz.com/the-herbie-mann-sam-most-quintet-herbie-mann-avenue-records-review-by-robert-spencer.php All About Jazz Review], accessed May 15, 2015
