The San Francisco Examiner called the album "a joyful and compelling set," writing that "Coryell's insistent rhythmic drive and bluesy underpinnings prove to be a perfect foil for Rollins."[6]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "A bit erratic, this album is still worth acquiring for its stronger moments."[2]
