Allmusic[2]

Allmusic reviewer Steve Loewy states "the group's highlight is clearly the lengthy (more than 47 minutes) "Lift Every Voice and Sing," the lovely spiritual by James Weldon Johnson. The piece slowly unfolds, revealing solo and group improvisations of major substance and incredible beauty, not to mention virtuosity".[2] On All About Jazz Derek Taylor wrote "This disc is easily recommended to both long time McPhee fans and neophytes interested in learning what all the excitement surrounding the man is really about".[3]
