Michael G. Nastos of Allmusic stated "Of the many live recordings with different Jazz Messengers lineups, this ranks among their best, and is a springboard for what the Marsalis brothers would offer as artists in their own right. With Blakey, this combination was special".Nastos, M. G. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/keystone-3-mw0000204038 Allmusic Review], accessed June 20, 2013
