African Sketchbook was released on LP by Enja Records. [3] The AllMusic reviewer concluded that, "The recording quality leaves a little to be desired, but the wonderful music more than makes up for it. Highly recommended, especially for those who came to Ibrahim's music later in his career and who are unfamiliar with his early, arguably more substantial work." [2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented that the album "is as bitty as it sounds [from its title]". [3]
