Allmusic's Ken Dryden noted, "When the Three Sounds briefly left Blue Note for Limelight in the mid-'60s, there was a noticeable drop in the quality of their albums. This LP gives no indication from the cover that most tracks have additional strings or brass. ... The only memorable tracks recorded during these sessions feature the trio without any additional musicians ... There are many better recordings by the Three Sounds".
