The Bay State Banner wrote: "While Chambers' piano is energetic and capable, Young's soaring organ themes and sensitive answering counter point actually highlight the album. When Chambers returns to the drums on the final two selections and cuts loose, Young responds responds with waves of sonic excitement, anticipating and pacing the beats and accents of Chambers." [4]

In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow stated: "The music is somewhat adventurous with Chambers as the lead voice on the numbers on which he plays piano; the final two performances are organ-drum duets that put more of an emphasis on Young's unique sound. This interesting session has some surprising music." [2]
