In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote "The strong quintet (which also features Eddie Henderson and altoist Gary Bartz) really digs into the diverse originals which are often reminiscent of a Blue Note date circa 1967".{{AllMusic|first= Scott |last=Yanow |class=album |id=mw0000612773 |title= Donald Brown: Sources of Inspiration – Review |accessdate=September 27, 2017}}
