Ken Dryden of Allmusic says, "Big Brass marks one of trumpeter Benny Bailey's earliest efforts as a leader, but it is also one of the best releases of his career. ...The entire session has a relaxed air, as if old friends got together to play some well-rehearsed material, so it is warmly recommended".[3]
