The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "Rather than play revivalist bebop, Corea and his associates (after authentically stating the melody) perform modern post bop improvisations in their own styles, so much of the music is way beyond bop ... All of the talented musicians have a fair amount of solo space and sound consistently inspired, making this a very successful and easily recommended project".[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings describes the album as “a small triumph, an understated and affectionate album that gives a clear impression of its subject - as understood by a follower - but without succumbing to sycophancy.[4]

In the 40th Annual Grammy Awards, this album was nominated as Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Individual or Group.[5]
