Allmusic reviewer Michael G. Nastos stated "These six compositions are not only life-affirming, but acknowledgments to such important icons as John Coltrane, Art Blakey, Miles Davis, and some of their important sidemen, who have inspired Thompson during his struggle with a rare lymphomatic cancer ... Thompson really hits the note consistently with this band of modern mainstream jazz masters performing at their best. Recommended".[4]
