The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars and states that "a fine all-around set from the Cannonball Adderley Quintet... finds his band in top form... It's a strong introduction to the music of this classic hard bop group".[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "At the Lighthouse, which marked Vic Feldman's arrival in the group, is a near-classic, opening on the immortal version of 'Sack O' Woe' and steaming through a vintage Adderley set in front of a cheering and fingersnapping crowd".[3]
