Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Scott Yanow stating, "Everyone is in fine form, particularly Harris and Adams, and the pianist's arrangements perfectly fit (and uplift) the music. Highly recommended to bebop collectors".Yanow, S. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/luminescence%21-mw0000022592 Allmusic Review], accessed September 11, 2012
