The contemporaneous DownBeat reviewer commented: "One of the non-insignificant faults of this album is a looseness that induces sloppy playing", and identified Jones as the main culprit.[3] AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow states: "In 1960 bassist Charles Mingus helped to organize an alternative Newport Jazz Festival in protest of Newport's conservative and increasingly commercial booking policy. The music on this LP (which has been reissued on CD) features some of the musicians who participated in Mingus's worthy if short-lived venture".[2]
