Ken Dryden of AllMusic stated, "Cindy Blackman has proved herself as an accomplished percussionist who doesn't overdo it, but there's something missing from this outing. ... most of her compositions, which make up the bulk of the CD, just don't hold one's interest. ... Instead, check out Blackman's earlier efforts".[3] In JazzTimes, Bill Milkowski called it "her most profound and heartfelt statement to date" and wrote: "After years of trying to find her own place in the music, Cindy Blackman arrives in high style with In the Now.[4]
