In his review on Allmusic, Ken Dryden states "One gets the feeling that the musicians were so comfortable playing together that they were actually a working quartet; the feeling of each track is of first-take freshness while being as close to perfection as possible ... This is yet another outstanding release by Larry Coryell".[3] On All About Jazz, C. Andrew Hovan called it a "most enjoyable mainstream set that might surprise some Coryell fanatics but which will easily please all".[5]
