In his review on [[AllMusic]], Michael G. Nastos stated "For his seventh Reservoir disc, pianist Schneiderman has assembled a quintet that takes on a distinct Jazz Messengers persona. Trumpeter [[Brian Lynch (musician)|Brian Lynch]] and baritone saxophonist [[Gary Smulyan]] supply a rich wellspring of swing and flowing ideas, while bassist [[Rufus Reid]] and drummer [[Billy Hart]] simply cannot be topped in their rhythmic supremacy.<ref name="allmusic"/>
