Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [ 2]
Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars, with the review by Scott Yanow stating: "Although the playing of The Turrentines is not at the same innovative level as Roach's prior group with Booker Little and George Coleman , they come up with consistently fresh statements during the well-rounded set and the tenorman was already instantly recognizable."[ 2]
