AllMusic	[4]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Most of the recordings by the early-'80s Red Rodney-Ira Sullivan Quintet were issued under Rodney's name, but this outing for Muse was an exception. .. this was a mighty group that consistently inspired Rodney to play music more advanced than bebop. Sullivan, who switches between soprano, alto and flugelhorn, matched well with Rodney ... Recommended". ^[4]
