Reception

Although originally unheralded at the time of release, Nichol's Blue Note recordings have gained recognition as highly original and ground-breaking compositions and performances. The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded Nichols' The Complete Blue Note Recordings, released in 1997, a five-star rating and stated: "The music is virtually unclassifiable, and although largely straight-ahead, sounds unlike anything produced by Herbie Nichols' contemporaries. Essential music".[2]
