Reception
The AllMusic review stated "every selection on this excellent CD works" and awarded the album four stars.[2] The JazzTimes review stated "Though Dizzy's tone and technique had slipped a bit in his 72nd year, he could always summon the magic when he needed to... It's a wonder the walls of the Hall didn't come tumbling down".[3]
