The Bay State Banner noted that "the dynamic, scalar playing of Hutcherson cannot be obscured even by formulistic arrangements and timid writing."[3]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "With keyboardist George Cables and vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson contributing all of the compositions, it is not too surprising that this LP has plenty of strong melodies... A fine (if not overly adventurous) outing."[2]
