The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow called it an "exciting studio date" and stated: "On a sad note, by the time this Uptown CD was finally released in 1993, Rouse, Shihab, and Davis had all passed away". [3]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings noted that Rouse "solos nicely throughout, and there are few signs of flagging energy, even given that he hadn't long to live thereafter." [4]
