The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Old friends Rouse and Rodney work off each other very well, and the results are swinging and enjoyable". [3]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings called the album "a fine showing from the saxophonist," and praised Dailey's contribution, stating that he is "hugely authoritative... and plays with relaxed power." [4]
David Franklin of Jazz Times noted that Rouse's "appealing, distinctive tone, his clipped, inventive phrasing and his forceful swing-all characteristics" are "clearly in evidence" on the album, and called Rodney "a fine intuitive player" who "never fails to swing infectiously while crafting steadfastly melodic lines." [5]
