Reception

Scott Yanow of Allmusic stated, "Not sounding at all like a typical soul-jazz organ group, these musicians take more advanced improvisations".[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz gave the album 3½ stars, stating it contains "churning but still delicate Hammond shapes, a rock steady bass, and some of Abercrombie's lightest and most dancing jazz-playing".[3]
