Reception The AllMusic review by Richard S. Ginell stated, "Switching over to Blue Note, which was then reaping a fortune with Donald Byrd's R&B outfit, Eddie Henderson pursued a harder, earthier, more structured, funk-driven sound on his first album, while maintaining some of his marvelously spacier instincts for spice".Ginell, R. S. AllMusic Review, accessed January 17, 2011.
