The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow noted "Pepper, pianist George Cables, bassist David Williams, and drummer Carl Burnett are heard at their best on "Allen's Alley" and "Samba Mom Mom." A special highlight is a passionate duet by Pepper and Cables on "But Beautiful."".{{Allmusic|first=Scott |last=Yanow |class=album |id= mw0000263403 |title=Art Lives – Review |accessdate=October 31, 2016}}
