  The Allmusic site awarded the album 4 stars stating "Recorded with Herbie Mann's working band at the time, Windows Opened captures the quintet tackling a mixed set of contemporary jazz and pop tunes. ...Although this is not one of the essential recordings in Mann's catalog, it features excellent playing throughout, with an amazing collection of talent".
