Allmusic awarded the album four and a half stars, with reviewer Scott Yanow writing that it was "...ironic that one of Jimmy Smith's best Verve releases would be his next-to-last for the label." Yanow also commented that it was a "surprisingly freewheeling but relaxed jam session" and "Fine straight-ahead music."[1]
