The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "By the time of their fifth record, the Red Rodney-Ira Sullivan Quintet also included pianist Garry Dial, bassist Jay Anderson and drummer Steve Bagby, and it was a perfect vehicle for the co-leaders. Rodney was challenged by the advanced material, and underground legend Sullivan received more exposure than he had ever had in his career. On this LP, Sullivan inspired Rodney to some of his finest playing. Superior post-bop music". [4]
