In Allmusic, Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars, writing that Lacey's "interpretations are so self-sufficient that one does not miss the other instruments, although it is quite easy to 'hear' the bass and drums behind the soprano... Highly recommended".[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz included the album in its "Core Collection" of recommended jazz recordings.[4][5] According to JazzTimes, "the entirety of Lacy's art is to be found in compacted form in solo concerts like 5 X Monk 5 X Lacy".[6]
