Reception
The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 4 stars stating "The appropriately title Sixth Sense presents a transition between one of the most intriguing sextets during the last years of post-bop and Morgan's final ensembles that saw him reaching higher and higher before, like Icarus, falling from grace.".
