Scott Yanow of AllMusic stated, "Cindy Blackman's debut as a leader finds the talented drummer showing a great deal of confidence and holding her own with her illustrious sidemen ... The music is modern hard bop, and all of the musicians play up to par in their concise solos ... A strong start to Cindy Blackman's productive recording career".[4]
