The Allmusic site awarded the album 4 stars stating "Manhattan Latin captures Dave Pike in flux between the straight-ahead approach of his earlier sessions and the psychedelic pop-jazz of his efforts for MPS: a playful yet methodical immersion into pure, sunkissed groove, its artful assimilation of global rhythms and textures anticipates the direction of Pike's most memorable work".{{AllMusic|first=Jason |last=Ankeny |class=album |id=mw0000738396 |title=Manhattan Latin – Review |accessdate=July 9, 2015}}
