[1] The AllMusic review says, "The Modern Jazz Quartet is alive and well in this effort, thoroughly brewing with overbearing optimism.
Lavish in orchestration, shining with dexterity, it is no wonder that it is rare to find such a group that can emulate George Gershwin's work with such spontaneity and prowess".
