Reviews :
"Like so many of these old Prestige jazz recordings, this is another LP of great music and really good sound. ... Even though Red Garland is not the biggest name on this list of all-time great jazz musicians, he is most definitely the real start of this LP. The music is everything you would expect from such iconic jazz players, and the solos by Coltrane and Byrd are equally great. Add to this the superb job that Analogue Productions and Kevin Gray have done and you have a really great musical experience waiting for you." Jack Roberts, dagogo.com, June 2013
"Despite Coltrane's involvement, the real star of the show is Garland, whose block chord method of playing is on full display, and his solos are what make this a standout recording. That's not to say that Coltrane and Donald Byrds' fine solos aren't fascinating looks at Byrd's early development and Coltrane's sheets of sound period. It's perfect for Analogue Productions' program of bringing us very desirable classics that didn't quite fit into the 45 RPM blockbuster sound program. Kevin Gray's mastering of this title is masterful and compares well with the original. The new 33 RPM series from Analogue Productions has yet to produce anything less than a great version of wonderful music." Dennis D. Davis, Hi-Fi +, Issue 96
"On November 15, 1957, a quintet headed by pianist Red Garland recorded enough material for two records. This CD reissue (whose companion is Soul Junction) has a 20-minute version of "All Mornin' Long," along with briefer renditions of "They Can't Take That Away from Me" (a mere ten minutes) and Tadd Dameron's "Our Delight." More important than the material is that, in addition to Garland, the main soloists are John Coltrane and trumpeter Donald Byrd. Byrd was on his way to getting his sound together, while Trane, very much in his sheets-of-sound period, was already blazing a new path for jazz to follow. An excellent and often quite colorful jam session-flavored hard bop set."AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow
