From the back cover: Norm Jeffries and I were old army buddies, so when he sent me a sample of Reno's new long playing album I gave it my full attention. I found that, though nothing starling or earth shaking was in evidence, a great deal of precision and good taste was. Too often, in searching for unusual effects, small combos lose all sense of form and balance. Such was not the case with Reno and his boys. Each rendition of each song in the collection could serve as a blueprint for a big band arrangement, and though this thoughtful approach to small group instrumental music may rob it of a possible pixiness and unpredictability, nevertheless, I found the group's arrangements immensely comforting and reassuring. All in all, a very worthwhile addition to anyone's record collection. – Nelson Riddle
