The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide Apogee is an unadulterated burner, guaranteed to work for tenor freaks"[3] Allmusic review noted "Apogee is an anomaly in many ways. First, it is a Southern California answer to the great titan tenor battle records of the '40s and '50s. Rather than sounding like a cutting contest, it sounds like a gorgeous exercise in swinging harmony and melodic improvisation by two compadres. ... the pair engaged a kind of freewheeling, good-time set that remains one of the most harmonically sophisticated recordings to come out of the 1970s".[4] All About Jazz Chris M. Slawecki observed "It is impossible to distinguish one man’s tenor from the other: sometimes they swing in unison, sometimes harmonizing, sometimes in duet or counterpunching, but they are always strong, meaty and powerful".[7] Jazz Review , Mark Keresman called it "A sterling set of beautifully recorded, searing, straight-ahead, mainstream bop tenor madness".[5]
