In his review on Allmusic, Richard S. Ginell notes "There was a time when Jimmy Owens was being positioned as the coming superstar of the jazz trumpet, signed to A&M's contemporary-thinking Horizon label as a leader and jumping into the thick of the jazz-funk scene ... Owens sails above the churning mix with a slender, lightish tone that nevertheless has a steel thread running through it. The combination works intermittently, alas".^[6]
