Scott Yanow of AllMusic reviewed the album, stating: "Three of the up-and-coming hard bop trumpeters of the 1950s are matched up on this jam session-flavored set. ...Although none of the songs caught on there are some fireworks during these performances".Yanow, S., [http://www.allmusic.com/album/three-trumpets-mw0000903981 AllMusic Review], March 30, 2015
