The Allmusic site awarded the album 4 stars stating "Gato Barbieri leads his fantastic group of musical friends with hurricane-like flair on his tenor sax. At times surreal and mind-boggling, Barbieri shows just how far one can let the music go to break the borders of jazz, sending his music into fresh and uncharted territory".{{Allmusic|first=Shawn M. |last=Haney |class=album |id=mw0000739078 |title=El Pampero – Review |accessdate=February 8, 2016}}
