Allmusic stated "Overall the music is rewarding and if not quite essential, there are enough exciting moments (whether from the ensembles or the main soloists) to make this a recommended acquisition".{{AllMusic|first=Scott |last=Yanow |class=album |id=mw0000495824 |title=Drum Suite – Review |accessdate=October 29, 2015}}
