In her review for AllMusic, Joslyn Layne states "Sections of this album are undeniably out, yet are balanced by other sections that feature these musicians at their straightest."
The Penguin Guide to Jazz says "'The Steelwood Trio, with long-time compadre Kessler in great fettle, is a roughly shod power-trio that finds each man vying for attention: muscular, exhilarating, unrepentant."
