Allmusic     [3]

In his review on Allmusic, Ken Dryden states "This very enjoyable session is heartily recommended".[3] All About Jazz said "The possibilities that Inner Urge offers are those, in large part, of bebop. Consistent in his presentation, Coryell remains out front on each tune as a relaxed, unpretentious and brilliant presence ... Inner Urge presents a locked-in group for the joyful exploration of jazz, which drives the inner urge of them all".[4]
