The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings |    [3] |
The Allmusic review stated "This set of commercial material (with guest spots by Stevie Wonder, tenor saxophonist Branford Marsalis and bassist Marcus Miller) is quite forgettable -- throwaway funk tunes with the parts of the sidemen sounding as if they were phoned in".[2]
The album was also Grammy nominated in the category of Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Soloist.[4]
