The Allmusic site awarded the album 4 stars stating: "This sadly out-of-print Columbia LP features Paul Horn at the peak of his jazz powers. ...a fine jazz improviser who fell between cool jazz and hard bop".{{AllMusic|first=Scott |last=Yanow |class=album |id=mw0000911534 |title=The Sound of Paul Horn – Review |accessdate=August 17, 2015}}
