The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "The boppish and fairly original Elmo Hope performs seven of his obscure originals, many of which are well worth reviving... Bop and straight-ahead jazz fans wanting to hear a talented pianist play fresh tunes should explore Elmo Hope's valuable music." [2]
John A. Tynan of DownBeat praised the album, writing, "Elmo Hope’s inner story is in this album for anybody who will listen. And a moving story it is." [3]
