Scott Yanow of AllMusic states, "Jam sessions featuring swing veterans were not that common an occurrence on record during the early '70s, making Hank O'Neal's Chiaroscuro label both ahead of and behind the times. ... although falling short of being a classic, this infectious and consistently swinging music is worth picking up".^[3]
