In his review for AllMusic review states Arwulf Grenier wrote, "This studio session contained many elements associated with a live gig: the work took place during regular nightclub performing hours, the improvisations were mostly extended, and there were no alternate takes. A remarkable freshness and spontaneity prevailed throughout the session".{{AllMusic|first=arwulf |last=arwulf |class=album |id=mw0000265622 |title=All Night Session!, Vol. 1 – Review |accessdate=July 29, 2015}}
