Ron Wynn, in a review for Allmusic, stated in his review of the Live at Pep's: "This mid-'60s concert was one of Lateef's finest, as it perfectly displayed his multiple influences and interests." He continued: "Lateef played meaty tenor sax solos and entrancing flute and bamboo flute offerings, and also had impressive stints on oboe, shenai, and argol. This was a pivotal date in his career, and those unaware of it will get a treat with this disc."^[4]
