Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Jason Ankeney stating: "Barry Harris' debut Argo session captures a uniquely soulful interpretation of bop sensibilities. Light yet commanding, Breakin' It Up moves from strength to strength, belying the pianist's relative youth and inexperience".[2]
