The personnel changed considerably for the final three tracks, recorded on April 11, 1961.[ 2] : 19 Out of This World " consists of baritone saxophone, two tenor saxophones, trumpet, trombone, French horn, bass, and drums; they form rhythms that allow Golson to flow in and out of the harmonic structure of the composition.[ 2] : 8 [ 2] : 8

The Allmusic review describes the album as "A gimmick record that transcends its novelty trappings [...] While the progressive sonic expansion is fascinating to behold, the small-group settings are no less impressive for their intimacy and nuance".[ 3]
