The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "Recorded five days before Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's death, the title cut of this album was retitled and dedicated to the late altoist. The powerful baritonist Pepper Adams is well showcased ... in typically excellent form, playing intense solos that push but stay within the boundaries of hard bop".[5] In JazzTimes, Miles Jordan wrote "The caliber of musicianship and the intricately worked-out tunes raise this performance far above a routine club gig".[7] In Jazz Review, Lee Prosser stated "Julian is an example of mainstream jazz at its timeless best, helmed by a neglected master of one of The Big Horns".[8]
