The Bay State Banner wrote that "Hutcherson plays such forceful, intense and rhythmic vibes, that he breathes life into the ho-hum compositions."[6]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "This is one of his lesser efforts... Although well played and reasonably challenging, nothing all that memorable occurs".[4]
