Reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating DownBeat [ 4]
The contemporaneous DownBeat [ 4] AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "With the exception of trumpeter Ferguson, there are few significant solos, and the big band mostly acts as an ensemble. Both Connor and MF were Kenton alumni, and there are moments where the orchestra reminds one of that band, but the focus is mostly on the singer ... although one wishes there was more interplay with the orchestra".[ 5]
