AllMusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars.[4] The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide also gave 4 out of 5 stars and in his review, John Swenson describes the albums Believe It and Million Dollar Legs as "both funk fusion delights featuring the playing of ex-Soft Machine axeman Allan Holdsworth".[2]
The compositions "Fred", "Proto Cosmos" and "Red Alert" are also featured on the Allan Holdsworth DVD Live at Yoshi's, released in 2007. Holdsworth has often stated that his time with the drummer was the most influential formative stage of his career.[5]
