In his review on AllMusic, Scott Yanow stated "Displaying a tone on tenor similar to John Coltrane's, Moore's note choices are more original than his sound. A solid modern mainstream set".{{allMusic|class=album|id=mw0000054646|first=Scott|last=Yanow|label=Ralph Moore: 623 C Street - Review|accessdate=January 8, 2019}}
