The Allmusic review by Ken Dryden stated: "Whether at the helm of a record date or as a sideman, Clifford Jordan was known for giving his all. These studio recordings were originally made for Strata East, a label known for its adventurous spirit". [3]

DownBeat reviewer Doug Ramsey assigned the album 4.5 stars. [4] He wrote, "Jordan is impressive here on every count, as composer, soloist and leader". [4] Ramsey praised the contributions of Kelly, Dorham, Priester and the rhythm sections, and said that "Jordan's solos are logical and passionate". [4] "Really quite a lovely record, produced, not incidentally, by Jordan". [4]
