| AllMusic |   [2] |
| The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings | [3] |
AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars stating "Guitarist Pat Martino's second recording as a leader finds him essentially playing advanced bop. His quintet really roars on an uptempo version of "Minority" and is diverse enough to come up with meaningful statements on four of Martino's originals". [2]
The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings commented that Strings! is "noteworthy for a long, burning treatment of Gigi Gryce's 'Minority', where Farrell's thunderous tenor solo is matched by equally flying statements by Martino and Walton." [3]
All compositions by Pat Martino except as indicated
