The Allmusic review noted "This LP certainly has an odd name. The music is relaxed but not sleepy ... this was really a recorded jam session in which no one paid much attention to the presence of the microphones. The recording quality is ok, if not state of the art, and the playing is not flawless, but the music overall is creative and well worthy of a listen by Warne Marsh fans".[3]
