{{Music ratings | rev1 = The Penguin Guide to Jazz | rev1Score = {{rating|3|4}}<ref name="Penguin Guide"/> }} ''The Penguin Guide to Jazz'' states "The timbre of the group can seem a little monochrome at times, gives Morris's penchant for a neutral tone and Brown's even dynamics, but Dickey's own playing has rare clarity, which seems to bind the music together."<ref name="Penguin Guide">{{cite book|last = Cook|first = Richard|author-link = Richard Cook (journalist)|author2 = Brian Morton|author2-link = Brian Morton (Scottish writer)|title = The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings|orig-date = |edition = 8th|series = The Penguin Guide to Jazz|year = 2006|publisher = Penguin|location = London|isbn = 978-0-141-02327-4|pages = [https://archive.org/details/penguinguidetoja00cook_1/page/349 349]|url-access = registration|url = https://archive.org/details/penguinguidetoja00cook_1/page/349}}</ref>
In a multiple review for ''JazzTimes'' Aaron Steinberg says "Morris shows up here on his familiar ax, the undistorted electric guitar, which Dickey sets against the punchy cries of Rob Brown's alto sax to great effect."<ref name=JazzTimes>Steinberg, Aaron.
