Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars calling it "A surprising album from Bley, long considered an outside player with little, if any, affinity for straight bop. He shatters that myth on this set".[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz said "Bebop is a taxingly inventive and constantly surprising run through a dozen kenspeckle bop tunes".[3]
