The Globe and Mail noted that "there are limits, as M'Boom proves, to the things that can be done (and none of them are harmonic in nature) with vibes, marimbas, steel drums, timpani, traps, and a few boxes of odds and ends."[5]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "This is a particularly colorful set that is easily recommended not only to jazz and percussion fans but to followers of World music".[2]
