The Allmusic review by Tony Wilds observed "Before Herb Alpert provided the hit transition from Latin brass to mod brass, Winding made this deluxe gatefold mod/Latin/jazz album. Surprisingly, Latin percussion yields him a lot more freedom than the yet more rigid big beat of the later, near-rock, mod sound. ...Kai Ole uniquely explores a new area of Latin jazz but never quite reaches critical mass".[4]
