Allmusic[2]

The initial Billboard magazine review from 31 December 1960 commented that "This is surely a most intriguing jazz package. ...It's a swinging affair, with spontaneity and zest, and Brubeck is to be commended for being able to provide such a proper showcase for the vocalist"[3]

The album was reviewed by Scott Yanow at Allmusic who wrote that "On ten standards Brubeck, altoist Paul Desmond and the Quartet fit in perfectly behind the great swing/blues singer Jimmy Rushing who sounds rejuvenated by the fresh setting. This disc, a surprising success, is well worth searching for."[2]
