The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow observed "Although not quite an essential set, J.J. Johnson is in excellent form on this date".[5] All About Jazz said "This is deep ‘Seventies funk, with block horns and lots of percussion. It’s also pretty generic – these guys are more at home playing jazz, and that’s what they should be playing".[6]
