In his review on AllMusic, Scott Yanow notes that "this LP gave listeners a good sampling of mid-1970s Pat Martino... An excellent outing." [3]

A reviewer for Billboard stated: "Bass, piano and drums surround the guitarist... Program of six tracks ranges from frothy bossa nova through Ellington's reflective 'Come Sunday' theme to Benny Golson's semi-classic 'I Remember Clifford' with markedly effective interplay between Martino and the virtuosic bass pluckings of Richard Davis." [5]
