The Globe and Mail wrote that Walrath's "music continues the filips that characterized the Mingus bands, the playful tempos, the gospel roots, the passionate solos."[4]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "This Stash LP is a strong effort by the adventurous trumpeter Jack Walrath who contributed four of the six compositions... The music is as colorful and as adventurous its the titles".[3]
