Jeffery S. McMillan has called the release one of Blakey's most underrated works and that it exemplifies his 1964-1965 work.[6] In a review in the December 1965 issue of Black World, the title track is describes as "a diabolical concept, a dark image, invoking the innermost caverns of Manhattan."[1] David Rickert calls the album "a fine Messengers album and a good example of the drummer's consistently satisfying work."[5] Russ Musto referred to the release as a "return to a more soulful sound".[7] Ken Dryden stated in his Allmusic review that "It's a shame that this was the only recording by this particular lineup of the Jazz Messengers, as [John] Gilmore's strong blowing complements Morgan very well".[4]
