The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Roots Revisited is a throwback to the 1960s soul-jazz style and Maceo Parker gives one the impression that, if called upon, he could hold his own on a bebop date".{{AllMusic|first= Scott |last=Yanow |class=album |id=mw0000309692 |title= Maceo Parker: Roots Revisited – Review |accessdate=November 6, 2017}}
