Scott Yanow on AllMusic said that, "although there are a few minor mistakes, the music is quite exciting and spontaneous... Brown was the best possible substitute for Warne Marsh (Konitz's original choice for the record) and sounds in prime form. It's worth acquiring by fans of straight-ahead jazz".[4]
