The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow called it "an interesting but sometimes uncomfortable mixture of advanced hard bop with electric instruments, aspects of funk, and the influence in spots of the avant-garde" and stated "None of the group originals are all that memorable either, making this date a slight disappointment".[5]
