Allmusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Green sails in and out of the chord changes and makes most of his solos into a do-or-die situation full of emotional intensity, especially when he plays alto ... Green shows that he is not afraid to occasionally caress a melody and frequently emphasizes unexpected notes ... Green is in top form on what may very well be his definitive recording. Highly recommended".[3]

On the Los Angeles Times, Leonard Feather wrote "Green has earned scant recognition for his Parker-inspired yet personal alto sax. The ballads are the meat of this season ... Ed Bland, Green’s producer, contributed three themes from his score for last year’s PBS-TV version of “Raisin in the Sun.” To round out this well-balanced set, Green wrote two provocative originals. He has just the kind of sympathetic rhythm section he deserved".[4]
