AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated: "The first of three recordings that altoist Bunky Green made for Vanguard in the mid- to late 1970s is a fine all-around effort with Green performing three originals and uplifting three pop songs ... Green sounds fine on this set, displaying a distinctive tone and an inquisitive musical spirit.".[4]
