The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "The music is essentially advanced hard bop with a few surprises tossed in. An intriguing set".[6]
DownBeat assigned the album 4 stars.[7] Reviewer Lee Jeske wrote, "I his is an out-and-out blowing session with a group of very strong and very compatible players . . . All in all, an admirable album. It’s a joy to hear a group of tight, professional jazzmen go into a studio and just kick ass".[7]
