The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "Tenor saxophonist Craig Handy's debut as a leader is an impressive effort. The advanced hard bop music has fine arrangements by Handy, who also contributed five of the nine pieces. At this point, Craig Handy's sound was almost distinctive, and he clearly had a great future. Recommended". [3] On All About Jazz, Robert Dugan stated "it is one of those debuts that causes jazz fans to salivate. Here was a charging, explosive, up to the minute group that didn't seem content to simply rehash the past. Bringing forward the mainstream with a tough, two-feet on the ground approach, Split-Second Timing served in part as an antidote to much of the conventionalism of the '80s—where, for some, it seemed as if musicians were stuck in a time warp with too much rehashing of the Miles Davis/Wayne Shorter band of the '60s."
