Reception
This session is described by AllMusic as "one of the highlights" of Webster's "golden '50s run".[6] The album was reissued in the early 1990s on CD with three bonus tracks, which include rare recordings of Webster playing piano.[7] When it was remastered in 24-bit for a 2003 edition, additional photographs and new liner notes were also included.[8]
