Scott Yanow, writing for AllMusic, praised the album, saying that "On the basis of this CD alone, Bobby Floyd deserves to be ranked among today's finest jazz organists, hinting at his predecessors but playing hard bop with his own sound and approach".[1] Fritz the Nite Owl, reviewing in the Short North Gazette stated that "If swingin’, timeless, feel-good jazz lights your fires, gets your fingers snappin’, and toes tappin’, this is the CD for you."[2]
