The Allmusic review called it "easily one of Louis Hayes' best recordings as a leader" stating "This quartet session led by drummer Louis Hayes almost has the flavor of a typical Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers album; although there's no brass, the selections and the hard bop arrangements generally fit".[5]
