Blacknuss was released by Atlantic Records.[1] The AllMusic reviewer wrote: "Blacknuss [...] is Kirk at his most visionary. [...] Blacknuss is as deep as a soul record can be and as hot as a jazz record has any right to call itself."[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote that "Some of the arrangements are guitar-heavy and the backbeats are decidedly uncouth", and that the record label probably influenced the choice of material, but that Kirk was comfortable with playing it.[3]
