The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "After years of erratic albums altoist Sonny Fortune finally made a great recording with this release ... Fortune plays quite passionately and really digs into the material, creating one of the finest recordings of his career".[5] On All About Jazz, Florence Wetzell noted: "Clearly Monk has a resonance with Fortune—the interpretations are spot on, yet they are infused with his unique spirit".[6]
