Scott Yanow of AllMusic said "Cables has long been a talented player in what could be called the 'modern mainstream': not breaking down any new boundaries but developing his own style in the flexible boundaries of hard bop. This album is an excellent example of his talents".[5] The Penguin Guide to Jazz describes the album as a "beautifully balanced piano trio record".[6]
