Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos states "This is a Rock of Gibraltar solid CD, ranking amongst Harper's very best efforts, leaving nothing on the table, and cementing his status as an admirable figure and one of the very best performers, improvisers, and pure players in the idiom. Highly recommended without reservation, and a strong candidate for Jazz CD of Y2K". Writing in JazzTimes Larry Appelbaum noted "the 57-year-old Texas tenor makes the most of every opportunity to sharpen his playing, composing and band leading skills on Soul of an Angel".
