Alex Henderson of Allmusic said "a strong Jazz Messengers influence asserts itself on these hard bop and post-bop performances ... the trombonist is in fine form throughout the album -- he never fails to sound inspired and focused -- and Up Jumped Spring is a welcome addition to his catalog". [5] In JazzTimes Doug Ramsey wrote "Following illness and the loss of a lung, Curtis Fuller has a trombone sound that’s a bit wooly. But it’s still round and full, and his breath control, speed and agility are intact-and his imagination still flourishes. ... With a solid Chicago rhythm section, Fuller and trumpeter Brad Goode make music the old-fashioned way, with compact improvisations on familiar tunes rather than extended explorations of original material. Their front-line work is a study in sonic contrast, Goode’s penetrating sound against Fuller’s enveloping suppleness". [7] On All About Jazz Terrell Kent Holmes noted "The timeless Curtis Fuller has been a brand name trombone player for about 50 years now and he's never sounded better than he does ... not only does he still have strong chops but he can bring a fresh perspective to classics and originals" [8]
