Reception

The AllMusic review by Stephen Cook stated: "The result here is a corralled mix of bop, free jazz, soundtrack ambience, and funk, all wrapped in Berne's cerebrally swinging sound. And while not a substitute for one of Berne's or Baron's solo outings of the '90s, I Can't Put My Finger on It will still please fans of the New York downtown jazz sound."[4] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings praised the album, writing that it has the edge over the debut.[5]
