The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "The title of this LP is not hype, for Ira Sullivan throughout the date shows off his impressive improvising skills ... He displays both his mastery of bop and of more advanced (and freer) ideas. A pretty definitive session by the underrated Ira Sullivan". [3]
