Billboard magazine featured the album as a "Billboard Pick" in their November 24, 1958 issue and described it as an "excellent six track set which allows Desmond his ususal share of honors...Good cover photo of Brubeck trying on a turban".[4]

Ken Dryden reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that ""Nomad" and "Brandenburg Gate" are the best-known originals but all of the other selections are equally enjoyable, featuring fine solos from Brubeck and altoist Paul Desmond".[3]
