The authors of ''[The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings](/source/The_Penguin_Guide_to_Jazz_Recordings)'' noted that Slide Hampton's "mild-mannered fluency suits Schneiderman's approach," but stated that "the music tends to settle down into blandishments of the kind that have been committed to record many times before."<ref name="Penguin"/>

The editors of ''[MusicHound](/source/MusicHound) Jazz'' awarded the album a full five stars, calling it "a stellar quartet session," and commenting: "Schneiderman composed four of the eight tunes, though he writes with such an ear for melody it's hard to tell his work from the standards."<ref name="mh"/>
