The AllMusic review by Ron Wynn stated: "Bassist Carter heads a sterling mid-sized band with three trumpeters and saxophonists and two trombones. He handles the job of being both the primary and secondary rhythm support, while guests Joe Henderson, Jon Faddis, and Frank Wess, among others, provide some standout solos. The ensemble interaction clicks as well."[4]
DownBeat assigned the album 4 stars.[6] Reviewer Sam Freedman wrote,"Parade is the album Ron Carter has been making, or meaning to make, for years".[6] Freedman praises Carter's writing, arranging, soloing, and management of the group.[6]
