AllMusic reviewer Alex Henderson stated: "When Malachi Thompson calls his music 'free bop,' it isn't empty rhetoric; he really does take a free, open-minded approach to bop, and he savors 'the tradition' without being enslaved by it. Recorded at three separate sessions in 1997, 1998, and 1999, Rising Daystar is primarily a hard bop/post-bop CD ... But while Rising Daystar is more inside than outside ... the Chicagoan isn't limited to that approach ... he detours into the avant garde and savors the pleasures of dissonant outside improvisation". [3] In JazzTimes , Tom Terrell observed: "Feeling their collective hard bopping, free jazzing, Afro-head swinging inner child, Malachi and Freebop get all the way open". [5]
