Reception edit

AllMusic awarded the album with 4.5 out of 5 stars.[3] The Penguin Guide review says: "Aside from their individual exploits, the two Brecker Brothers made some commercially successful records as co-leaders in the mid-1970s, and these two best-ofs give a clear picture of what they did: jazz-funk rhythms streamlined with guitars and keyboards, sometimes as settings for grandstand solos by either of the two principles but equally often as grooving ensemble pieces".[2]
