In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow stated "The often melodic but unpredictable music definitely holds one's interest".[4] JazzTimes writer Bill Shoemaker observed "McBee's program of boldly lined cookers, poignant ballads, and daring structural statements, elicit consistently strong work from Freeman, Pullen, Moye, trumpeter Joe Gardner, and drummer Allen Nelson. As a soloist, McBee nails everything from fleet blues choruses to wistful lyricism".[6]
