Review from JAZZIZ Magazine (by Larry Nai):
The Ellington orchestra sounded exquisite in the early summer sessions that produced this soundtrack. With a burnished sonic brilliance reminiscent of the glorious 1940 Blanton/Webster edition of the band, and soloists like Johnny Hodges and Paul Gonsalves, Ellington's tightly woven soundtrack took on a life independent of its original context. In doing so, it became one of Duke's most satisfying albums.

Reseña de JAZZIZ Magazine (por Larry Nai):
La orquesta de Ellington sonó exquisita en las sesiones de principios de verano que produjeron esta banda sonora. Con un brillo sónico bruñido que recuerda a la gloriosa edición Blanton/Webster de 1940 de la banda, y solistas como Johnny Hodges y Paul Gonsalves, la banda sonora tejida apretadamente por Ellington cobró vida independiente de su contexto original. Al hacerlo, se convirtió en uno de los álbumes más satisfactorios de Duke.
