Scott Yanow of AllMusic stated "Walter Bishop, Jr.'s first (and thus far only) full set of unaccompanied piano solos sounds fine. ... although one often wishes that the bop-oriented pianist had been joined by bass and drums (which might have inspired him to play with more passion on this occasion). Worthwhile but not essential music". [3]
