The AllMusic review by Ron Wynn states "Sizzling cuts, with old pros Jimmy Knepper on trombone and Hugh Lawson on piano taking care of business".[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars stating "An interesting reunion of the Adams-Richmond unit which suggests that both men might have been looking for a much broader tonal and timbral range... not to be overlooked".[3]
