AllMusic awarded the album with 3.5 stars and its review by Thom Jurek states: "This set marked a fitting return for the Breckers, who never let the fashionable tenets of the smooth jazz '90s totally appropriate their creativity or their sound". At the 1993 Grammy Awards the album received three nominations: Best Contemporary Jazz Album, Best R&amp;B Instrumental Performance ("Big Idea") and Best Jazz Instrumental Solo (Randy Brecker on "Above &amp; Below").
