Reception
{{Music ratings
| rev1 = AllMusic
}}
Ken Dryden of AllMusic states: "Dicky Wells is one of the most important swing trombonists, though he is better known for his work as a sideman than as a leader. But when he got the occasional opportunity to lead a record date, which was all too infrequent, he made the most of it. ... Spirited solos and tight horn ensembles are common features throughout most of the session".{{allMusic|first=Ken|last=Dryden|class=album|id=mw0000879115|title=Trombone Four-in-Hand – Review|accessdate= July 6, 2017}}
