The Allmusic site awarded the album 4½ stars stating "The Don Ellis Orchestra really came into its own during the period covered by this CD (1966-1967), playing perfectly coherent solos in ridiculous time signatures... Fun music".[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz called it "entertaining and provocative".[4]
