      Release history


      In 1996, it was released on CD, as a limited edition, with five bonus tracks from the same sessions.


      Reception



      The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states, "Sonny Red, a fine altoist inspired by Charlie Parker and Jackie McLean, never really made it in jazz, and some of his recordings are rather uninspired. However, that does not hold true for his Blue Note album... He performs mostly little-known standards (along with six of his originals) and displays a fair amount of originality and a great deal of potential that was never really fulfilled. Recommended."
