In his review on AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos stated "For his seventh Reservoir disc, pianist Schneiderman has assembled a quintet that takes on a distinct Jazz Messengers persona. Trumpeter Brian Lynch and baritone saxophonist Gary Smulyan supply a rich wellspring of swing and flowing ideas, while bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Billy Hart simply cannot be topped in their rhythmic supremacy.
