The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Although flugelhornist Franco Ambrosetti is only a part-time musician (making his main living as a businessman), his playing has always been at a high level ... Advanced hard bop".{{AllMusic|first=Scott |last=Yanow |class=album |id=mw0000872672 |title= Franco Ambrosetti: Heartbop – Review |accessdate=June 22, 2018}}
