[1][2][3] The album represents Stitt's fourth recording featuring the varitone, an electronic amplification device which altered the saxophone's sound.

[4] Allmusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Sonny Stitt's regular group of the period plays a wide variety of material ...

Unfortunately the set is from the period when Stitt often used a Varitone electronic attachment on his alto and tenor which gave him a much more generic sound, lowering the quality of this music despite some strong improvisations.

[5] In JazzTimes Patricia Myers wrote "Alto and tenor giant Sonny Stitt always could burn a bebop riff like his idol, Charlie Parker.

In this 1968 studio session, Stitt is in perfect sync with ever-grooving organist Don Patterson and tasty drummer Billy James".
