The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "it's another perfectly acceptable quartet performance for enthusiasts, and the two takes of "Napping" provide much to think about"[5] In his review on AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "This Silkheart release has one of the finest all-around recordings by Steve Lacy's Sextet ... all five compositions are Lacy originals. Overall, this set gives listeners a particularly strong example of the work of the innovative Steve Lacy Sextet.".[4]
