On AllMusic, Scott Yanow observed, "Trumpeter Donald Byrd's second jazz album during his comeback after years of playing R&B/funk and then totally neglecting his horn finds him starting to regain his former form. The strong supporting cast sometimes overshadows the leader on this CD but the music overall (modern hard bop) is rewarding".[4] The Penguin Guide to Jazz praised the contributions of Garrett and Henderson, while suggesting that the trumpeter's own playing had declined.[5]
