In his review for AllMusic, Steve Loewy states "Peterson and McBride are both very effective partners, sharing the leader's penchant for quirky, carefully constructed nuance. As a trio, they may not be trailblazing entirely new territory, but the journey is filled with tastefully delicious twists and turns."[2]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz says that "the playing is richly evocative and never predictable, even if McBride and Peterson occasionally lapse into free‑jazz argot during some of Karayorgis's more abstract passages."[3]

The All About Jazz review by Glenn Astarita states "The subtle nature of this outing lies within each musician’s ability to develop intricate and poignant dialogue while never losing the tune. That alone, is art unto itself. Heart and Sack is highly recommended."[4]

The JazzTimes review by Bill Shoemaker notes that "Despite Karayorgis' well-defined imprint on the album, this is a collective effort from beginning to end. McBride and Peterson's fluent contributions are essential to the program's pace and impact."[5]
