The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD calls this album an extended tribute to ancestors and awards it one of their rare crowns, and Mingus's musical forebears figure largely throughout.

Формируйте собственную коллекцию записей Mingus' debut for Columbia, Mingus Ah Um is a stunning summation of the bassist's talents and probably the best reference point for beginners. While there's also a strong case for The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady as his best work overall, it lacks Ah Um's immediate accessibility and brilliantly sculpted individual tunes. Mingus' compositions and arrangements were always extremely focused, assimilating individual spontaneity into a firm consistency of mood, and that approach reaches an ultra-tight zenith on Mingus Ah Um.

Mingus Ah Um is an extended tribute to ancestors. Ah Um represented a turning point in Mingus' career on multiple fronts. The personnel is a mix of mainstays from the bassist's '50s ensembles and newer voices that would play an increasingly important role in Mingus' tumultuous output during the '60s. Producer Teo Macero began his career on sax and was an early participant in Mingus' Jazz Workshops before arranging the Columbia sessions that would result in Ah Um and Mingus Dynasty Legacy, 1959 and later the bassist's triumphant return to the label with Let My Children Hear Music 1972. In conclusion, Mingus Ah Um is an essential jazz album despite its obvious flaws. Charles Mingus shows with this album that he is much more than just an incredible bass player but one of the most impressive and important jazz composers of his time. This album touches on all extremes, from the insanely technical to the sparse and soulful. While it may not be as important to the genre as the albums Miles Davis and Ornette Coleman released this year, its much more varied and just better.
