All the qualities one associates with Coltrane — the iron-hard tone, the harmonic precision and freedom, the often overlooked rhythmic elasticity — are already present here, but for the moment at least, the blues is still his basic language.- PENGUIN GUIDE TO JAZZ

This album marks John Coltrane’s third recording as a leader. Though he had yet to realize many of the greatest achievements of his career, the fact that he established himself as an instrumentalist and as a composer so early and with such authority is a feat that few have accomplished. - JAZZ MAGAZINE
