Allmusic's Scott Yanow stated: "Hank Crawford always puts a lot of passion into each note he plays. On this set of blues and soulful ballads, Crawford caresses each melody as usual but the lack of tempo variations and the generally so-so material keep this from being one of his more essential recordings. ... Although a pleasant enough listen, Hank Crawford has recorded many more significant dates than Groove Master".[4]
