The contemporaneous DownBeat reviewer stated: "The overall unit feel is excellent – this group settles into a tune and cooks. The solos flow easily and without hesitation out of the ensemble and back in again. But the rating is held down partly by Jones and Miller, who are not consistently effective". [4] AllMusic rated the album with 3 stars. [3]
