Reception The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album three stars, and states: "While not an essential or pivotal recording in Cannonball Adderley's career, Domination is one of few big-band joint efforts, an intriguing studio-produced sidebar in his otherwise stellar discography."Nastos, M. G. Allmusic Review accessed February 26, 2010 The All About Jazz review by Chris May calls the album "a curio for Cannonball fans, but something of more substantial interest to those interested in Zawinul's trajectory".May, C. Domination Review All About Jazz, August 27, 2005. The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars, stating: "Both Adderleys feature through a series of monumental sounding charts by Oliver Nelson - which come through mightily in an exemplary remastering - on some very enterprising material."
