In his review on AllMusic, Scott Yanow stated "The two horns blend together very well and consistently inspire each other; the rhythm section is state-of-the-art for this type of modern hard bop music, and the overall results are swinging and at times a bit adventurous. Recommended."{{allMusic|class=album|id=mw0000206218|first=Scott|last=Yanow|label=Ralph Moore: Rejuvenate - Review|accessdate=January 8, 2019}}
