Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars calling it "A surprising album from Bley, long considered an outside player with little, if any, affinity for straight bop. He shatters that myth on this set".Wynn, R., [http://www.allmusic.com/album/bebopbebopbebopbebop-mw0000270932 Allmusic Review] accessed June 26, 2014 The Penguin Guide to Jazz said "Bebop is a taxingly inventive and constantly surprising run through a dozen kenspeckle bop tunes".{{cite book|last = Cook|first = Richard|author-link = Richard Cook (journalist)|author2 = Brian Morton|author-link2 = Brian Morton (Scottish writer)|title = The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD|edition = 8th|series = The Penguin Guide to Jazz|year = 2008|publisher = Penguin|location = London|isbn = 0141023279|pages = [https://archive.org/details/penguinguidetoja00cook_1/page/134 134]|url-access = registration|url = https://archive.org/details/penguinguidetoja00cook_1/page/134}}
