The San Francisco Examiner called the album "perhaps Tyner's most brilliant recording, from a technical standpoint."[4]
The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos stated: "Tyner realizes a perfectly balanced, extroverted, compatible and utterly unique front line. It enables him to offer some of the most remarkable, memorable and powerful music of his career".[2]
