The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "This is one of Frank Foster's finest small-group dates and is highly recommended".[3] In JazzTimes, Bill Shoemaker called it "a balm-like program that will quell the most righteous outrage", observing that "Foster’s art lies in his projection of a relaxed energy, a combination of a quick wit, acute insights, and graceful execution ... Foster’s solos are lean and muscular".[5]
