The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos states: "An entry point recording for Chico Hamilton, it displays his savory good common sense well before being more trend and fashion conscious, as psychedelia and fusion took over commercialized jazz."{{AllMusic|first=Michael G. |last=Nastos |class=album |id=mw0000875212 |title=Chico Hamilton Trio – Review |accessdate=June 4, 2015}}
