The AllMusic review states: "Although there is close interplay by the musicians, the pianist is the lead voice, so one can look at this set as being a date by the Kirk Lightsey Trio. Excellent modern mainstream music".[4]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote that the album "sends us back to the original Leaders sets with a heightened awareness of what was going on in the warp-factor engine-room. Which is not to say that Heaven Dance is not a substantial achievement on its own terms... Recommended."[5]
