Scott Yanow of Allmusic states, "The quintet's concise interpretations (no performance is over six minutes) are melodic without being overly predictable. As usual Farmer's lyricism by itself is a good reason to search for this underrated album". [2]
Writing in Down Beat, Harvey Siders states "most tracks are played with the same inspiration one might find on a visit to the dentist," adding "that Farmer and Heath could rise above such a dismal format is a tribute to their instinct for swinging." [4]
