Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "Jones leads the way with his always elegant boppish arrangements; there are also plenty of solo opportunities for his bandmates in these intimate recordings, which give you the feeling of sitting right in front of the bandstand." [3] On All About Jazz John Kelman noted: "Carter and Williams had a shared history as part of Miles Davis' more outward-reaching second quintet in the mid-'60s, so they had just the right combination of traditionalism and outside-the-box spontaneity to make this set—consisting of one Charlie Parker tune, one standard, a Davis tune, and a Williams original—a potent blend of reverence and liberated musical thinking."
