The Allmusic review by Glenn Astarita awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Murray is in top form, evidenced by his climactically driven soloing endeavors -- where he peaks within the upper registers -- via an unrelenting pace. It's all about perpetual motion topped off with a festive sentiment, marked by oscillating Afro-Cuban grooves and a few poignant interludes here and there. But the musicians also utilize space to their advantage, where they often allow any given soloist, ample breathing room to reconfigure previously explored themes. Folks, this is the real deal. An awe-inspiring effort, indeed!"[2] JazzTimes observed "Murray, unlike most Latin saxophonists, is not what you would consider an in-clave type of player. He often plays on top of the rhythm rather than getting inside. Still, there is much excitement here".[4] All About Jazz said "When this band is on-target, the results are inspiring. It's too bad they are not consistent in that regard, because the project has enormous potential. Listeners curious about Cuban music, especially its rhythmic element, are likely to find some tasty nuggets here regardless".[5]
