In his review on Allmusic, Scott Yanow states "Mike LeDonne, who is better known as a pianist, is also a talented organist in the Jimmy Smith/Charles Earland/Don Patterson tradition. His quartet set is straight-ahead hard bop rather than soul-jazz ... Although nothing innovative or overly surprising occurs, the music is well played and Alexander in particular has plenty of spirited solos".[3] On All About Jazz, Russ Musto called the album "Soul Stirring" and said "LeDonne's two-fisted sure-footed mastery of the Hammond B3 tradition is evident from the beginning"[4]

gollark: You can't on my stuff, the screens are quite dark.
gollark: Computers are great because they can keep my desk warm.
gollark: I rarely have enough pockets.
gollark: This is an uncool thing which I think is mostly just put in by lazy authors/gamedevs for balance.
gollark: Not because those are impossible to automate but because if someone does automate them I will likely have bigger issues than "oh no, I no longer have a job".
