The Philadelphia Inquirer , noting Jones's younger players, wrote: "If there were ever an argument for melding the wisdom of age with the impetuousness of youth, this is it." [7] The Gazette praised Joshua Redman, concluding: "In a remarkable solo turn on 'Angel Eyes', he wanders through the history of jazz both ancient and recent—and better yet, sounds quite at home in the present." [8]
The AllMusic review noted the "consistently inspired playing from all of the musicians... An excellent effort". [5]

His brothers Hank and Thad were also celebrated jazz musicians with whom he occasionally recorded. Elvin was inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 1995. In his The History of Jazz, jazz historian and critic Ted Gioia calls Jones "one of the most influential drummers in the history of jazz".
