The Allmusic review by Stephen Cook awarded the album 4½ stars, stating: "Everyone contributes fine solo work, while also keeping everything nice and in the pocket. A highlight from the Pullen-Adams catalog and one of the most impressive of contemporary live jazz dates".[2]The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars, stating: "The working band in excelsis, rounding off a half-decade of activity with a couple of heated – sometimes overheated – sets. Perhaps oddly, given the chemistry, this is a band that always sounded better in the studio".[3]
