In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow called the album "a fine straight-ahead set," noting Rouse's "immediately recognizable tone," and wrote: "Other than Thelonious Monk's 'Well You Needn't' and Thad Jones' 'A Child Is Born,' the material is somewhat obscure... and generally a bit complex, but always swinging. A fine effort." [1]

Writing for Jazz Times , Miles Jordan commented: "Rouse's melodic playing perfectly illuminates each piece and the rhythm section is faultless." [4]
