AllMusic reviewed the album, stating, "Altoist Vincent Herring's release is an impressive effort. Although he still sounds fairly close to Cannonball Adderley at times, Herring is continuing to develop as a fine modern bop stylist." [2]
Leonard Feather of the Los Angeles Times noted "Herring’s alto sax and Renee Rosnes’ piano here have an innovative sound and style. With fine support from bassist Ira Coleman and drummer Billy Drummond, they cover Strayhorn’s “Chelsea Bridge,” Miles Davis’ “Solar” and a take-no-prisoners version of the title track. A slashing Kenny Barron blues, “And Then Again,” winds things up." [3]
The Chicago Tribune said, "Alto saxophonist Vincent Herring's phrasing isn't unique. You hear Frank Morgan in it, even Charlie Parker. But that doesn't reduce the pleasure, because the sheer musicality overcomes all doubts. Herring has the touch, and everything he touches on this recording glows." [4]
