It entered Billboard magazine's pop album chart on July 28, 1962, peaked at No. 4, and remained on the chart for 35 weeks.[1] AllMusic gave the album a rating of two-and-a-half stars. Reviewer Ted Mills called it "a fun blend of jazz and Afro-exotica, jungle drums mixed with a classic bop combo."[2]
