In a review for AllMusic, Judith Schlesinger called the album "a rare treat," and wrote: "If he's not quite as pyrotechnic as before, his sound and soul are undiminished, and he's still coming up with unusual timbres."[1]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings stated: "the title-piece is very well played, a lot fresher and more contemporary than the original sounds now. The new group also sharpens up the action considerably and there's a bite as well as romantic consideration to Pharoah's playing as a result."[6]
