AllMusic reviewer Ken Dryden stated "Joanne Brackeen's concert at the Contemporary Art Center may not have gotten wide distribution and exposure, but it is one of her best releases. With a capable rhythm section including bassist Ira Coleman and drummer Tony Reedus, she gives an audience their money's worth and more".{{allmusic|class=album|id=mw0000901555|first=Ken|last=Dryden|label=Joanne Brackeen – Power Talk: Review|accessdate=February 17, 2017}}
