Thom Jurek of allmusic gives the album a three-and-a-half star rating (of a possible five), noting that "[t]he material is swinging, front-ended, soul-inflected hard bop with tunes arranged by Crawford" and that "Crawford's tone as a soloist is sweet yet edgy and raw, full of emotion and warmth."[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz describes the album as "sonorous and churchy in the Brother Ray mode…" and gives the album a three-star rating (of a possible four).[2]
In 1961, Ralph Gleason, in a review for Down Beat, gave the album five stars.
