The Allmusic review by Ken Dryden states, "Gumbs displays surprisingly maturity for a composer only in his mid-20s at the time of the recording, performing a series of thought-provoking originals ... When Gumbs is playing works by others, he does not take the predictable path ... In the decades which have followed this debut, Onaje Allan Gumbs may not have earned the accolades which he has merited, but this CD is well-worth acquiring".[3]
