In his review for AllMusic, Alex Henderson stated, "this superb LP is the only live album that Lonnie Liston Smith provided in the 1970s. It's also one of the most essential and improvisatory recordings he ever came out with. Smith and his band, the Cosmic Echoes, don't hesitate to let loose during this performance ... Though the Cosmic Echoes maintain their ethereal qualities, their playing definitely has a tougher edge on stage".
