In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states, "David 'Fathead' Newman is in top form throughout this straight-ahead jazz set ... The music is mostly soulful hard bop and quite well played".[5] In JazzTimes, Miles Jordan noted, "This lively group gets off to a swinging start on the title track ... Besides tenor, Newman also plays flute on two tunes ... As might be expected from a Texas tenorman, Newman’s flute playing is as robust as his other axe(s), which also includes alto sax".[7]
