The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "The last of six LPs by the Red Rodney-Ira Sullivan Quintet was also the band's finest. There are times in the music where the group sounds like the early Ornette Coleman Quartet. The setting and advanced repertoire clearly challenged Rodney and inspired Sullivan. A post-bop gem, one of Rodney's finest recordings".[4]
