In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "Although Grimes played in a wide variety of settings in the late 1950s, he was working exclusively in the avant-garde by 1965. Teamed with clarinetist Perry Robinson in one of his earliest recordings and the obscure drummer Tom Price, Grimes gets a fair amount of solo space on these six group originals. However, it is for Robinson's playing that the adventurous but not overly memorable disc is chiefly recommended."[3]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars, stating that the album was interesting "for a first view of Perry Robinson and for some strong solo statements from the leader."[4]
