The Allmusic site awarded the album 3½ stars, calling it: "A fine finish to a much-too-brief life".[3]
DownBeat awarded 4 stars.[5] Reviewer Jack Sohmer wrote, "The primary emphasis here is on the blues, both minor and major, and even the modal Mission is not completely devoid of this feeling. Nelson’s own playing has always deserved much more attention than it received. His sound is a singing one, richly expressive and well rounded. And while his ideas find their origin in mainstream swing/bop, few can accuse him of standing still".[5]
