Reception

In his review in the May 9, 1963, issue of DownBeat magazine, the jazz critic Pete Welding wrote: "Spurred on by an appreciative audience present during the recording, the Adderley group has produced a collection that is both stimulating and accessible. There is plenty of good, strong blowing, and to this is added the interest of artful, well-constructed arrangements that enhance the tunes and strengthen the solos."

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "Adderley's greatest band -- a sextet with cornetist Nat Adderley, Yusef Lateef (on tenor, flute and oboe), pianist Joe Zawinul, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Louis Hayes -- is featured on such exciting numbers as 'Jessica's Day', Jones' 'Unit 7', and 'The Jive Samba'. A special treat of this live date is hearing the leader's introductory words to several of the songs."[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars, writing that "on favourite turf in San Francisco, the band are in good fettle."[3]
