Billboard Magazine Review, October 20, 1962:
Johnny (Hammond) Smith and Willis Jackson. Prestige 7239 – Two of the better selling artists on the Prestige label team up here for a swinging LP. Hammond’s bluesy organ style is a fine, moody partner for the wailing Willis Jackson tenor sax style. The tempo is changed attractively throughout for continual change of pace. The rhythm section fulfills its function with alacrity throughout, making for an album that’s exciting as well as musical. Some of the better tracks are “Besame Mucho,” “Neckbone” and “Y’All.”
