In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "Although none of these originals are destined to become standards, they inspire Lake to come up with some of his more lyrical solos."[1]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes "Again and Again offers an uncommonly lyrical and mainstream performance from Lake. Only 'Aztec' and 'Re-cre-ate' approach the angularity one normally expects of his soloing."[2]
