-Scott Yanow of [[Allmusic]] states, "This live LP (which has not yet been reissued on CD) mostly features Hampton Hawes on electric piano... Although well-played, little memorable occurs, and Hawes never did sound as distinctive on keyboards as he did on acoustic piano".<ref name="Allmusic">Yanow, S.
