In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "This CD is full of surprises and unpredictable music. Altoist Ernest Dawkins and his versatile sidemen perform a wide variety of originals."[2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote that this second Silkheart album by the New Horizons "is also patchy, but the addition of Nicholson adds some fire and focus to the overall mix and Dawkins himself seems more contained."[3]
