The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "Rather than play revivalist bebop, Corea and his associates (after authentically stating the melody) perform modern post-bop improvisations in their own styles; so much of the music is way beyond bop ... All of the talented musicians have a fair amount of solo space and sound consistently inspired, making this a very successful and easily recommended project".[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings describes the album as “a small triumph, an understated and affectionate album that gives a clear impression of its subject - as understood by a follower - but without succumbing to sycophancy.[4]
In the 40th Annual Grammy Awards, this album was nominated as Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Individual or Group.[6]
