The AllMusic review states "Despite some fine soloing, including a typically joyous flight of fancy from Moondoc himself and several impressive features for tenor saxophonist Zane Massey, it's a relatively no-risk affair, underpinned by a rhythm section that seems at times to be just going through the motions."[2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz says "The music is fine and fiery... The sound isn't exceptional but gives a faithful representation of Moondoc's philosophy."[3]
