Reviewing a reissue, the Detroit Free Press wrote: "Shaw applied the lessons of John Coltrane to a conception rooted in hard bop. The result was an angular, saxophone-like style and a complex harmonic language spiced by dissonance and unusually wide intervals—his serpentine improvisations weave in and out of chords like a taxi through New York traffic."[6] Scott Yanow of AllMusic stated that "the varied originals give the musicians strong foundations for their freewheeling and spontaneous solos, making this one of Woody Shaw's better recordings."[4]
