AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated: "The strongest of Bunky Green's three Vanguard LPs of the mid- to late 1970s, this set finds him exploring six of his challenging yet fairly accessible originals. Green's appealing tone and adventurous style work well with the impressive all-star group, and he is in heard in prime form throughout the post-bop release".[4]
DownBeat assigned the album 4 stars.[6] Reviewer Sam Freedman wrote, "The album represents a departure for the Green known as a ferocious blower. Instead, he cools jazz in the manner of Miles Davis. He strips away many of the changes, turns down the volume, leaves plenty ol air between notes and solos, but keeps the rhythm section working overtime. This album is made for listening to at dusk, lying on a couch, not quite asleep".[6]
