Jason Ankeny of Allmusic states: "Comin' on Strong ranks among James Moody's most challenging and rewarding sessions — with its complex rhythms and mercurial tempos, the material is more like a series of obstacle courses than a collection of melodies, but Moody and his collaborators navigate the twists and turns with dexterity and grace".Ankeny, J. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/comin-on-strong-mw0000898697 Allmusic Review], February 6, 2013
