Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "And what an introduction. The 16-year-old Eric Kloss joins forces with organist Don Patterson in what is a top-flight date for both of them... Kloss combined with the others in this quartet to produce a hard bop, organ jazz session that stands with the best".^[2]
