Reception

[edit]

TheAllmusicreview by Ken Dryden awarded the album 4 stars stating "This obscure mid-'60s record by Milt Jackson has few surprises, though many jazz fans would be suspicious that the theme from the movieBorn Freewould turn into a viable jazz vehicle. Jackson's funky treatment of this normally laid-back piece works very well ".[2]
