The AllMusic reviewer wrote: "His technique is immaculate and contrapuntal-minded, the selection of material offbeat, but we don't feel as if we are in the presence of a strong individual personality; one responds with the head and not the heart."[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz preferred Rosenthal's originals, and suggested that he tended to show off.[2]
