Billboard mentioned that Monday nights at Birdland were "when the regular bill is off and the young musicians get a chance to show their stuff".[4] The reviewer concluded that the album was "A good jazz set."[4]
John S. Wilson referred to Fuller's contributions as "positive evidence of outgoing vitality", Morgan's as "set[ting] a rip-roaring, challenging pace", and described the recording overall as "a really bright, swinging session".[6]
Allmusic reviewer Michael G. Nastos wrote: "Birdland was the focal point of the scene, and Blue Note Records provided the recording studio forum for the rising stars of the music, especially a teenage trumpeter named Lee Morgan, fresh from Philadelphia and ready to take on the world ... Emerging from the new music, trombonist Curtis Fuller, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, and pianist Ray Bryant are the principals on this date, with lesser-known but equally potent tenor man Billy Root ... Where the value lies in this session is the developing sound provided by Mobley, while Billy Root is the missing link between peer tenor saxophonists from Philly and the emerging John Coltrane. These Monday night sessions -- originally issued on the Roulette label -- are interesting to listen to especially if you are a fan of any of these legendary musicians. Because of the loosely associated nature of thrown-together bands, it's not an essential item, but good to refer to for perspective".[5]
