The AllMusic review concluded: "Sometimes the inspiration level is uneven, but the payoff is high when all cylinders are pumping."[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote of McNeely that "for all the clarity of his touch, he takes in more of the keyboard in each improvisation than many do over a whole recital".[2]
