Reception

The Allmusic site awarded the album 2 stars stating: "One can hear hints of Paul Horn's future directions on this obscure LP. ...so this is not an album for everyone." Cycle, credited to The Paul Horn Quintet, was nonetheless nominated for a 1965 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Album, Small Ensemble.

Within three years, Horn would abandon jazz altogether to work on atmospheric mood music".
