In his review on AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote, "The music is post-bop, at times quite melodic, consistently stirring and filled with surprising moments, particularly when the music builds and builds to an intense level. Well worth several listens".{{allMusic|class=album|id=mw0000010805|first= Scott|last=Yanow|label= Santi Debriano: Artistic License: Review|accessdate=January 11, 2019}}
