The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "Although he had rarely played with any of the sidemen heard on his Arabesque release before, the quartet presents a unified sound, as if they were a regularly working group. ... no matter what the vehicle, McPherson is in top form throughout this fine date and he sounds clearly inspired".
