Allmusic reviewer Jason Ankeny stated "As its title suggests, Testifyin' Time channels elements of gospel but otherwise eschews tradition and cliché, bolstering its modern jazz sensibilities with nods to the emerging Chicago soul sound. ... Bunky Green flourishes in the session's hip, contemporary mode, uncorking a series of nimble alto solos galvanized by a communal joie de vivre that elevates the entire session beyond the norm. And like most of Green's Argo sessions, Testifyin' Time boasts a thoughtful song selection as well,".[4]

gollark: Did you know? Amazingly few discotheques provide jukeboxes.
gollark: Consider my advice or you will not have considered my advice.
gollark: Just reading books repeatedly is probably not great.
gollark: Spaced repetition stuff like Anki for factual facts. Do practice questions for stuff you're bad at for procedures and whatever.
