Scott Yanow of AllMusic called it "one of the better Art Farmer recordings of the 1980s, which is saying a great deal, for the flugelhornist is among the most consistent of all jazz musicians... It's an enjoyable and very successful outing".[2] In addition to a maximum four-star rating, The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album a "Crown" signifying a recording that the authors "feel a special admiration or affection for".[3][4]
