The album received a three-star rating by AllMusic[2]

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings noted that Slide Hampton's "mild-mannered fluency suits Schneiderman's approach," but stated that "the music tends to settle down into blandishments of the kind that have been committed to record many times before."[4]

The editors of MusicHound Jazz awarded the album a full five stars, calling it "a stellar quartet session," and commenting: "Schneiderman composed four of the eight tunes, though he writes with such an ear for melody it's hard to tell his work from the standards."[3]
