The AllMusic review by Ron Wynn stated "Alto saxophonist Vince Herring has steadily developed his own tart, bluesy sound ... There is more spark, ambition and drive in his playing on this release than any previous date; he tries new things on each number and isn't afraid to stretch out ... by far his best release".[3]
