The Bay State Banner wrote: "Gathering all the old Herbie Hancock Sextet alumni (Maupin, Priester, Hancock) was a good idea but the blend of electronic textures and a disco beat don't work."[3]
The AllMusic review by Richard S. Ginell determined that there are "more disco excursions for Capitol's A&R department and more listless themes for Henderson's horn to purvey, although his solo contributions are somewhat more involving this time."[2]
