Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "The trumpeter was having a short-lived comeback at the time and he had largely regained his earlier form. Edwards sounds as strong as ever and Newborn was an up-and-coming talent. Their collaboration for this boppish date is generally quite memorable". [5] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings awarded the album four stars, and described it as “one of the best mainstream albums of its day.” [6]
