The Allmusic site awarded the album 4 stars stating "Grab This! finds tenor Johnny Griffin in a soul-jazz mood... It's amazing that five guys were able to get together and cut this album for Riverside in one day during the summer of 1962... Grab This! is a fine album, and serves as a reminder of Griffin's lovely tenor sound".[3]
