In his review for AllMusic, Steve Loewy notes "Much of the album is surprisingly low volume, immersed in delightfully tranquil sounds. The group never forgets its mission, though, and even when playing in low gear, the creative sparks fly."[1]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "CIMP's dry, 'real' sound suits the EHE just fine, and its seldom made a record that sounds as lucid and spontaneous as Papa's Bounce."[2]

The All About Jazz review by Derek Taylor says "As a whole this disc radiates a love and respect for African traditions that will enrich the ears of any listener willing to explore it’s bountiful expanses."[3]

gollark: Again, you seem to be missing everyone's actual thought processes, Volodymyr, unless you think that they're just lying about those being their thought processes.
gollark: Someone banning abortion is, I mean, not you specifically.
