  AllMusic reviewer Myles Boisen stated "The emphasis on this release is on R&B-inflected combo jazz ranging from the soft (but not sappy) sound of Doggett's ethereal organ ... Of course, this wouldn't be a complete smorgasbord without a touch of the exotic ... As always, there's plenty of grits 'n' gravy saxophone, great guitar ... and even some real soulful flute playing".
