Allmusic's Richard S. Ginell said: "Rather than stick completely with the down-home soul-jazz rituals that have served him well in his previous several releases, Crawford mixes up his pitches in this more-inclusively titled outing -- or he seems to. ... Nice change of pace, though not that big of a change for this soulful veteran". [4] In JazzTimes, Owen Cordle noted "Crawford always puts deep feeling into his alto saxophone playing and he always gives you the melody, the blues and a groove. He’s consistent and economical. This album is his 15th for Milestone, and it goes back to some of the jazz tunes he heard in his early days". [6]
