Scott Yanow of Allmusic stated "This excellent Timeless CD has a version of "Body and Soul" along with seven stimulating (if not overly memorable) recent originals by bandmembers. Fine modern hard bop".Yanow, S. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/blue-night-mw0000274185 Allmusic Review], accessed June 20, 2013
