Reception
In his review on Allmusic, Scott Yanow stated, "Not sounding at all like a typical soul-jazz organ group, these musicians take more advanced improvisations". The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars stating it contains "churning but still delicate Hammond shapes, a rock steady bass, and some of Abercrombie's lightest and most dancing jazz-playing".
