The sleeve notes (by Lester Koenig) quote Richard Hadlock, jazz editor of the San Francisco Examiner, who writes:
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow awarded the album 4.5 stars and called it an "interesting and largely enjoyable set". Yanow also echoed Hadlock's comments, writing that "Pepper was just starting to show the influence of John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman in his style, freeing up his playing and displaying a greater intensity during his improvisations."[1]
