The AllMusic site rated the album with 3 stars.^[2] Thom Jurek called it "a startling yet warm and, in retrospect, wonderful recording of originals and covers."^[4]

Writing for All About Jazz, Douglas Payne commented: "As always, Martino remains an engaging technical dazzler - as opposed to all those forgotten 70s guitar heroes who thought speed and sound meant good playing. Martino even experiments with guitar synthesizers and other effects... But the strength of the guitarist's melodic personality, particularly during signature solos, is never in question."^[5]
