The Globe and Mail wrote that Walrath's "music continues the filips that characterized the Mingus bands, the playful tempos, the gospel roots, the passionate solos."
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "This Stash LP is a strong effort by the adventurous trumpeter Jack Walrath who contributed four of the six compositions... The music is as colorful and as adventurous its the titles".
