The San Francisco Examiner called Now Hear This "a very strong album," and praised "Cecil McBee's driving bass and the brilliant drumming of Tony Williams."[7]

The AllMusic review by Ken Dryden states: "Hal Galper has long been an underrated composer and pianist. This Enja release from 1977 finds him at the top of his game in both roles."[4] In 2010, when reviewing the CD reissue, he said, "This is easily one of Galper's best recordings of the 1970s."[5]
