Allmusic rated the album with 3 stars. [2] On Audiophilia.com, Roy Harris wrote: "While the goal of the producer probably was the maximization of sound quality, it may have led to an unintended consequence, namely the subservience of the music to the sound. While the cause may have been percussion 'pyrotechnics', I found the novel and unusual arrangements of familiar melodies interesting, and not indicative of a devaluation of the musical content". [3]
