AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated: "Walton was trying to widen his audience a bit at the time — not a bad goal, except that he felt he had to water down his music on a few of these numbers. A mixed bag".Yanow, S. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/soul-cycle-mw0000174614 Allmusic Review], January 24, 2013.
