The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings[6]

The AllMusic review called it "easily one of Louis Hayes' best recordings as a leader," stating that "this quartet session ... almost has the flavor of a typical Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers album; although there's no brass, the selections and the hard bop arrangements generally fit".[5]
