Scott Yanow of AllMusic notes, "The sextet performs four standards and a pair of Walton originals but not much magic occurs during this workmanlike performance". ^[5] The Penguin Guide to Jazz compared the album unfavorably with earlier Eastern Rebellion releases, and criticized Armenteros's solo development. ^[6]
