The Vancouver Sun determined that "whether by design, osmosis or accident, Harper sounds like Coltrane reincarnate."[8] The Globe and Mail concluded that "the performances tend to be rather cumbersome, thanks to the efforts of not one, but two drummers, Newman Baker and Horacee Arnold."[9]
In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow stated: "This CD contains some of Billy Harper's finest playing in years".[6]
