The Allmusic site awarded the album 41/2 stars, stating: "This effort from the vibraphonist stretches the parameters of Maurice Jarre's themes". [2] DownBeat reviewer Harvey Pekar wrote: "Many jazz versions of movie soundtracks are weighed down with uninteresting material, but this album is better than most others partly because it has passable thematic material. Dickerson's arranging is eclectic." [4]
