The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states:
lots of advanced yet logical improvising, and more than its share of variety. The group had its own sound and was quite underrated during its relatively short life. A gem.

On All About Jazz David Rickert wrote:
By this time Hamilton had cast off the light, chamber jazz directions he pursued in the fifties in favor of the advances of Coltrane and Coleman. In Lloyd he chose a perfect musical director; his compositions are not based on melodic heads as much as they are springboards for challenging improvisation.
— Rickert, David (August 18, 2002). "The Chico Hamilton Quintet: A Different Journey". All About Jazz.
