The AllMusic review by Ron Wynn stated "Jack Walrath and his Masters of Suspense turn to an idiom that was once among jazz's more popular, but in recent years has been almost ignored -- funk/soul-jazz. ... Walrath's trumpet and flugelhorn horn solos are always intense and occasionally exciting ... the Masters of Suspense do a good job of displaying their soul-jazz chops".[5]
