Scott Yanow reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that Woods' European Rhythm Machine was "an adventurous unit that really challenged the altoist" and "one of the most underrated groups of the 1968-70 period". Yanow concluded that "It is very good to hear Phil Woods playing post-bop and almost avant-garde music for a change, but it is a pity that all of the intriguing group's recordings are currently out of print".[2]
