Allmusic reviewed the album stating "Herring has developed his own personal voice on alto and has developed into a strong soprano sax player, too. This straight-ahead hard bop set finds Herring in top form ... The seven instrumentals feature Herring at the peak of his creative powers, making this one of his strongest recordings to date".[2] JazzTimes observed "Herring’s latest album, All Too Real (HighNote), once again demonstrates his firm command of the hard-bop language. ... Herring offers a stimulating program that includes some hard-bop-style up-tunes, a gentle waltz and an uptempo Latin number".[4]
