In his review on Allmusic, Ken Dryden stated "Pianist Kenny Barron's star began to rise in the 1980 as he recorded more frequently as a leader. Uptown releases such as this one have been hard to find because of erratic distribution, but this trio date with bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Frederick Waites (in one of his last record dates prior to his death in 1989) is worth the effort to acquire it ... The pristine sound achieved by legendary engineer Rudy Van Gelder is an added bonus. Highly recommended".^[6]
