Critical reception

The Commercial Appeal called McDuff "one of the genre's masters" of "soulful organ jazz".[7]
All About Jazz said that "it's McDuff's blues themes that have the most flavor and excitement".[5] The All Music Guide to Jazz noted that McDuff "proved to still be in his prime".[9] Modern Drummer praised Tate's "flair for playing in small organ groups" on the "top-flight The Re-Entry."[13] The Grove Press Guide to the Blues on CD said that "the griddle sizzles quietly with the soul-seasoned jazz and blues".[11]
