The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Billy Mitchell's first album in 13 years is decent, but not all that special. The live set features Mitchell on tenor, soprano and alto performing a pair of lengthy blues and two fairly basic originals. ... Mitchell sounds fine, but nothing that special occurs".
