Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars stating "In 1960, flutist Herbie Mann put together a very interesting band that was in its brief existence (before Mann's interests shifted elsewhere) one of the top in Afro-Cuban jazz" and called the album "quite underrated and is one of the finest of Mann's long career".
