In a review for AllMusic, Alex Henderson noted that "Krantz's hardness and intensity serve him well" on the album, and wrote: "When Krantz lets loose and digs into such complex yet accessible jazz-rock as 'Faith in the Process,' 'Don't Tell Me' and 'Alliance,' the listener can focus on the depth of his playing." [2]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings stated that the "starry cast" on the album "suggests a typical fusion slugging match, but the support team is used rather sparingly... and, though the pieces are rather short and curtailed, they're an entertaining bunch." [3]
Jazz Journal's Mark Gilbert described the album as a "pallid set," and commented: "The record is dominated by Krantz's liquid-toned Stratocaster, which comes to us via a little echo and flanging and is used in the main to express bland diatonic ideas with little blues feeling or chromatic spice... the arrangement is cluttered and the dynamic all on one level." [5]

Krantz Carlock Lefebvre is an album by Wayne Krantz released in 2009. "This trio's famously long residency at New York's 55 Bar used to be documented by downloadable recordings of the gigs the same night, and though the guitarist has access to a conventional recording studio here, he has kept the same improvisational live feel, augmenting it with some overdubbed theme statements and quirkily offhand vocals on four tracks. Krantz is accompanied by his regular partners, Tim Lefebvre (bass) and Keith Carlock (drums), and the bone-crunching three-way conversation they keep up joins the impact of a heavy rock power-trio to the harmonic sleight-of-hand and melodic slipperiness of a contemporary jazz band."
