The AllMusic review by Bob Rusch stated: "This was a nice blowing date for Bowen, who at the time had an R&B background and had never before recorded a jazz album...Mickey Tucker was very strong on this set and at times almost seemed to be the leader with Jones seemingly pushing to assert his position. Still, this was an enjoyable recording with just that little extra added personality to give it an extra edge". [3]
