DOWN BEAT 1957
rating: 5 stars :
"This is an extraordinarily well done album with absolutely no point at which you can wish for more. Miles' solos throughout have an almost ascetic purity about them. They are deliberate unhurried, and almost inevitable in their time. On Miles Ahead he comes bouncing and skipping in almost as through he were the legendary Piper, dancing his way along leading everyone." by Ralph J. Gleason
