Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars, with the review by Scott Yanow stating: "Although the playing of The Turrentines is not at the same innovative level as Roach's prior group with Booker Little and George Coleman, they come up with consistently fresh statements during the well-rounded set and the tenorman was already instantly recognizable."[2]
