Reception

AllMusic	^[5]

AllMusic awarded the album 3 stars, with its review by Jim Todd stating: "While trumpeter Webster Young pays tribute to Billie Holiday on this, his only studio date as a leader, the set is equally a tribute to Young's musical role model, Miles Davis."^[5] All About Jazz praised the album's "sleepy sadness," writing that "Young's approach to the trumpet was relaxed and steady ... bucking the trend toward the poker-hot heat beginning to be exhibited by Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard."^[4]
