AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow described the album as containing "exciting and very creative music." Jazz & Blues wrote that "Simmons and his associates bring to all these items an intensity of purpose which transcends their differing characteristics, so that the impression the listener takes away is of a group of players at once liberated from stylistic prejudice and wholeheartedly committed to the task at hand." The editors of Billboard included the album in their list of "4 Star" releases.
