Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Jim Todd stating, "Magnificent brilliantly illustrates Barry Harris' unique rapport with the bop piano tradition. Absolutely unlike the enervating, curatorial approach of the neo-con movement, Harris deals with the tradition as a continuum, perpetually rejuvenating and extending it".[2] Awarding the album a maximum four-star rating, The Penguin Guide to Jazz identified it as part of their recommended "core collection".[4]
