The Down Beat review by Carlo Wolff awarded the album 4 stars and simply states: "While the mostly original material is comfortably within Magris’ revered bop tradition, the fire with which this group plays – goosed by the leader's keyboard pyrotechnics – puts the recording over the top." The Chicago Jazz Magazine review by Hrayr Attarian simply states: "This alluring and enjoyable album captures Magris and his colleagues in peak form. It also demonstrates Magris’ superlative skills as a composer and bandleader. Live in Miami @The WDNA Jazz Gallery is both memorable and accessible and will prove to have a wide appeal."
