In his review on AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos states: "This recording properly acknowledges Coryell's main influences, swings nicely, delves into his under-appreciated mellow side, and reaffirms his status as an enduring jazz guitarist who still has plenty to say ... this finely crafted recording ranks with any of his many better-to-best dates".[3] In JazzTimes, Jim Ferguson wrote: "Once a young lion of jazz guitar, Coryell is gradually becoming one of its greatest seasoned veterans, as this material strongly suggests".[5]
