Down Beat original review
“This album offers an unequalled opportunity on record to hear Rollins’ tenor almost isolated from any other instrument. It is exceptionally well recorded, there is no piano, Manne’s drums never intrude, and Brown in many places plays an obligato accompaniment.” (Ralph J. Gleason)
